Product Overview

The drive sprocket (also known as the final drive sprocket or track sprocket) is a key undercarriage component in compact track loaders. It engages the track chain's bushings or links to transfer power from the machine's hydraulic motors to the tracks, enabling forward/backward movement, turning, and traction. A worn sprocket causes chain slippage, uneven wear on tracks/rollers/idlers, reduced efficiency, increased vibration, and potential breakdowns—common issues for Takeuchi CTL operators in construction, landscaping, demolition, and material handling on rough, abrasive terrains.

Compact Track Loader Sprocket 0880166210 Critical Performance Advantages

Optimized Tooth Profile

Our sprockets feature a precision-machined tooth profile designed to minimize "scrubbing" against the track pins. This ensures smooth power transition and prevents premature "hooking" of the teeth, even in high-speed travel modes.

Advanced Deep-Induction Hardening

The teeth are the highest-wear area of any CTL. We apply Deep-Induction Hardening to a depth of 8mm-12mm. This ensures that even as the surface wears over hundreds of hours, the underlying material remains hard and resistant to deformation.

Guaranteed OEM Interchangeability

Stop worrying about fitment issues. This sprocket is manufactured to the exact tolerances of the original Takeuchi factory part. It features the standard 9-bolt mounting pattern for a fast, "drop-in" replacement that minimizes machine downtime.

Key Benefits for Takeuchi Owners & Operators

• Enhanced Durability: Hardened teeth resist abrasion from sand, gravel, and rocks, extending sprocket life by 40-60% and reducing chain wear.
• Improved Traction & Efficiency: Precise tooth profile ensures strong engagement with the track chain, minimizing slippage and boosting fuel economy.
• Easy Direct Replacement: Bolt-on design with OEM-compatible mounting—no modifications needed, install in under 60 minutes.
• Reduced Vibration & Downtime: Maintains smooth power delivery, enhancing operator comfort and machine stability on uneven ground.
• Cost Savings: Lowers overall undercarriage maintenance costs by protecting rollers, idlers, and chains from accelerated damage.
