Track Dimensions

For more information on track dimensions and how to measure your track, please see our rubber track dimension guide.

Width Selection

When multiple track widths are listed, each width will fit your equipment.  However, in most cases a standard width track is recommended.  A more narrow track puts less tension on the track rollers and extends the life of the rollers and other parts which wear down from track pressure.

Wider tracks are often used when minimizing damage to the ground, or to extend the life of the track.  A wide track distributes pressure over a larger surface area which causes less of an imprint in the the ground.  For example, a wide track may prevent damage to a yard when digging a septic tank.  Wider tracks also have a longer life due to more rubber in contact with the ground.  When driving on an abrasive surface such as asphalt, a wide track may be used to extend the life of the track.

Z-Lug Tread

The Z-Lug tread or "Zig-Zag" pattern is intended for applications that require extra traction.  The high count of edges cut into a Z-lug pattern creates more friction between the track and the ground.  This provides better handling in specific situations such as when working on steep slopes, snow, or ice.  If maximum traction is needed, we recommend choosing a Z-lug pattern for your equipment.
