Rubber Tracks
More Traction and Flotation

Over-the-tire rubber tracks are now available for the manufacturer’s 200 and 300 Series skid steers. This system is suitable for soft and muddy ground conditions where a wheeled skid steer might bog down. The tracks enhance traction and flotation without causing the surface damage of steel tracks, allowing the operator to work on turf, asphalt and concrete. The rubber tracks can be mounted over 10 and 12-in. pneumatic tires, including standard, extra-wall and hauler models. John Deere; 913/901-2192; www.deere.com
