Mr. Fritz, we recommend a minimum of 3 inches of clearance around the tires to prevent the OTT from rubbing or hitting any part of the machine. If you have questions you may contact me at 800-836-0040, ext. 4 and I would be happy to further assist you. We offer an OTT measurement sheet I can...

Hi guys, Just wanted to add some comments. Our over the tire tracks are made from individual track sections which are connected with dogbone links and carriages bolts. These track sections can have interchangeable shoes either rubber for Protrac Rubber OTT or steel for Magnum OTT or it can...

bobcat_ron, Neither of the tracks we inspected were broken. One of them, however, has a serious cut exposing some steel cores on the inside portion of the track. This may have caused a pitch problem which is why he could not use the track any longer. It was very difficult to determine if this...

Hello bobcat_ron, I believe I know of the member on Lawnsite.com you are referring to. We had began speaking offline since we found his posts. We had an opportunity to look into the situation closely and it looks to be an isolated issue with his T190 tracks. McLaren rubber tracks have a very low...

Hi jklingel, Just wanted to inform you that we carry 2” spacers. They are typically used with our Protrac over-the-tire tracks. The spacer mounts onto the existing lugs on the machine. You would then mount the tires onto the lugs that come on the spacers. Our tracks can weight up to about 1,500...

Dear TracKing: McLaren, more than just a name! As mentioned, it does take quite a number of molds to produce a variety of tracks. The mold design is a critical aspect to producing a good rubber track. The mold design must take into account not only the design of the track itself but also...

Hi Fabricator, Thank you for showing interest in our Next Generation rubber tracks. We may be biased but we believe our tracks to be the best on the market. Here are some other reasons why you should consider us: 1) We offer an 18 month warranty on mini-excavator tracks, the best warranty on the...

Hi wvtrees, Thank you for showing interest in our NextGen TDF tracks. I just wanted to let you know that these tracks have peaked the interest of few OEMs (which I cannot name because of confidentiality issues) and are currently testing them for us as we speak. Be sure to ask your rep about our...

xtreem3d, There are two main reasons why we design the tire to have a shallow lug at the center 1) Tire Strength. The thicker rubber toward the center of the tire gives strength to the lugs. If the tread depth remains the same across the entire lug the it is prone to cracking at the base...

Hi switzforge, Be sure to check out our Protrac over-the-tire tracks. Our Protrac Diamond would be ideal for snow. It provides great traction and it wouldn't collect snow in between the track and the tires because of the spacing it provides. You can check it out on our website here...

Hi raffyo, We may be biased because we manufacture these but we believe we have the best track loader tracks on the market. Our Next Generation TDF tracks were designed specifically for the track loaders using new manufacturing techniques. You can find out more about them here...

Hi xtreem3d, I just wanted to inform you that we now carry a new line of Nu-Airs called the Nu-Air AT (All-Terrain). These tires have different tread design that allows for maximum tread life on concrete / asphalt while providing tractions in dirt and mud. For those that are using the loader for...
