    A full size track loader is likely to weigh 50k+ pounds not 2500. If you check the header that’s what this section is for, not machines with rubber bands for tracks.

    Cat still make 3 models of larger track loader 953 (15 metric tonnes, 34.5K lbs), 963 20 metric tonnes, 45K lbs and 973 - 30 metric tonnes, 66K lbs. John Deere are 655K (18MT, 40K lbs) , 755K (20MT, 45K lbs) Liebherr have their 'crawler loader' LR 636 (22MT, 48K lbs) and LR 626 (17 MT , 38K lbs) If one wanted a large 30K lb plus crawler/ track loader for something like urban logging of a forest of dangerous dieback trees in a sensitive noise, ultra low emission area. Use an electric Sennebogen tree version of the large electric (called 'electro battery' models) material handlers they make. Pon Equipment, the Norwegian dealer of Caterpillar machines, is now bringing heavy-duty battery-electric excavators of 12 and 25-tons into the global market Pon Equipment could probably do a battery electric large hydrostat Cat traxcavator. There was a new zero emission charger trailer shown this week, that the zero emission mobile charging tech for 'onsite/ between different sites' charging 'is getting better'. Shantui makes a battery electric 19 metric tonne/ 41K lb bulldozer. They also make 30 metric tonne/ 66K lb diesel track loaders. Shantui has an 18MT battery electric rubber tire wheel loader and 22 tonne battery excavator as production line items. Might one day have a large battery track loader as a standard unit. Need to look through the Chinese Export grade makers to see if one already exists.
