I've got a question for some of you who run over the tire tracks. I have been using a set of loegering over the tire "trailblazers" for about 7 years. They have held up and are now on my 4th tracked machine (an s300). I've noticed, since I started them on an s250 and now the 300, that the tracks tend to tear up the ground more and more. This wasn't as noticeable back when I ran them on 863's. At first I attributed it to the lighter weight and shorter wheelbase of the 863's but now think that maybe there is a better track out there that would not turn over shallow soils.
I work mostly in rocky areas in s. Central Texas hill country where the soils are shallow, full of stumps, and soft, almost sandy dirt (when dry). I also push and grade a lot of aggregate materials.
Any experiences with other steel tracks? I tried a set of grousers with bolt on pads but the pads broke off all the time.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
