Product Description
Which Width Is Right for Your T590?
- Factory-installed width on most T590s
- Lower tension on rollers → longer undercarriage life
- Best for hard surfaces: concrete, asphalt, packed gravel
- Better maneuverability in tight spaces
- SKU: B320X86X49Z-BTT590
- Distributes T590's 8,000 lb weight over a larger footprint
- Reduces psi → less lawn & turf damage
- Ideal for soft/wet ground, mud, landscaping work
- Larger footprint absorbs more impact — softer ride on rough terrain
- SKU: B400X86X49Z-BTT590
Z-Lug Tread — Is It Right for Your Work?
| Pattern | Best Used For |
|---|---|
| C-Lug | Mixed terrain · grading · site work · on/off road |
| Block | General purpose · hardpack · dirt · long pavement runs |
| Z-Lug ✔ | Steep grades · snow · ice · maximum traction applications |
| Bar | Flat terrain · large ground contact · stability on firm surfaces |
| Split Bar | Bidirectional traction · shock absorption · smooth ride |
| Q-Tread | Multi-directional traction · good all-around performance |
| Turf | Lawns · landscaping · minimal ground disturbance |
The Z-Lug is the maximum-traction pattern for the T590 — built for operators working steep grades, snow, ice, or any conditions where grip is the top priority. The aggressive zigzag lug pattern digs in harder than C-Lug or Block, making it the right choice for earthmoving, grading on slopes, and winter work.

What's Inside the Track
| Component | Specification | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|

| Steel Cords | Acid-washed · continuous cord layer | Carry tensile load · prevent stretching · hold pitch dimension |
| Rubber Compound | Wear-resistant · premium bonding | Protects cords from moisture · bonds all layers · absorbs impact |
| Z-Lug Tread | Aggressive zigzag pattern | Maximum grip in soft/loose conditions |
Is It Time to Replace Your T590's Tracks?
| What You're Seeing | What It Means | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Exposed steel cords | Carcass worn through | Replace immediately |
| Flat or missing lugs | Tread depth below ⅓ of original | Plan replacement soon |
| Track won't hold tension | Carcass stretched beyond adjuster range | Replace track · inspect adjuster |
| Track jumping off | Tension too loose OR guide bar/idler damage | Check tension first |
