TRACK CONSTRUCTION
Rubber tracks provide less ground compaction and soil damage as well as increased comfort
by less vibration and noise. They allow higher speeds, superior traction, increased pushing or
towing capability, lighter weight and are economical. They are low friction drives and result in
increased fuel economy.
Tracks are made from natural rubber which provides greater chunking and tear resistance,
wear and heat resistance and have self healing properties, which extends the track life.
Rubber tracks are single molded assemblies consisting of a composite of steel cord,
surrounded by fabric and incorporates an interlocked forged metal link backbone. The fabric
separates the steel cord from the forged metal links which provide flexibility and strength
needed for the application.
TRACK MODEL CONFIGURATIONS
Custom under carriage assemblies ready for mounting of your operators station and your
implements can be supplied. Basic track units with mounting provisions for assembly to your
own under carriage are also possible. See page 8.
All track units are supplied with hydraulic wheel motor driven rubber tracks. The drive
sprockets engage every link of the track as opposed to every other link. This reduces the
wear on the under carriage of the machine and reduces the torque factor on the inside of the
track. This also creates for a smoother ride and less operator fatigue.
TYPICAL UNDER CARRIAGE ASSEMBLIES
Under carriages are provided with mounting arrangements for your operator station and
implements per your specification. Hydraulically "on the go" adjustable or fixed track width is
available for all under carriages.
