John Deere

John Deere's new rubber
over-the-tire tracks for John Deere 200 and 300 Series skid steers maximize productivity
in applications that require additional traction
or flotation.

This system is ideal 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 operation on turf, asphalt and concrete.

Installation is similar to that of steel tracks. The rubber tracks can be mounted over 10-and 12-in. pneumatic tires, including standard, extra-wall and hauler models. No specialized tires are required. The system also can be removed when not needed, which increases the life of the tracks.
