Care & Maintenance
Proper maintenance significantly extends rubber track and pad lifespan. Follow this checklist to protect your investment.
Daily checklist
- Check and clean debris from track and undercarriage, especially in freezing weather
- Verify track tension; adjust if outside 10–15 mm sag
- Inspect for cuts, delamination, or exposed steel cords
- Check rubber pad bolts for looseness
- Avoid running at high speed on hard abrasive surfaces; make gradual three-point turns
Monthly / 250 hr checklist
- Fully inspect all track links and guide lugs for wear
- Check roller, idler, and sprocket condition
- Measure track sag and re-adjust tension grease
- Inspect lug wear depth; replace when lugs are below 50% original height
- Clean and inspect rubber pad bolt holes for thread wear
Replacement Triggers: When to Order New Tracks
Exposed Steel Cords
Visible steel cords anywhere on the track body indicate the rubber compound is depleted. Replace immediately; exposed cords are a safety hazard.
Lug Height < 25%
When tread lug height has worn below 25% of original, traction drops significantly. Check lug height with a depth gauge.
Core Cracking
Deep cracks through the body (not surface crazing) indicate the rubber compound has degraded. Surface crazing alone is cosmetic.
Guide Lug Wear
Worn or missing guide lugs allow the track to derail. Derailment on a running machine causes rapid, irreparable damage.
Delamination
Separation between the rubber and internal steel cords. Look for bubbling or raised sections anywhere on the track face.
Link Damage
Bent, cracked, or separated link sections compromise track integrity. Damaged links can break under load.
