Message: <blockquote data-quote="Land-Tech" data-source="post: 13116" data-attributes="member: 1679">I have run Grouser tracks for over ten years and find them to be well worth the cost. The wear factor is important. They have very large replaceable bushings that connect thre pads but the bolts wear way before bushing does . the new pair I have has a bar on the inside pad that is designed to catch the lugs on your tire. the first pair I had wore the actual grousers down flat but I bought some square stock. cut it to length and welded on. Kind of a hassle but I doubled the hours to about 4000 hrs.You can order hardened pads. It's my opinion the the tracks are easier on the tires as far as wear is concerned.  They are adjustable.at one inch increments. I run them loose and have to get in some pretty greasy muck to get them to spin. With a lighter machine you can run on pavment if its cool..they have beveled grousers so you can spin without the edges digging in.Flat tires are a hassle but even with the bead broke ,you can walk it some where it is easy to change. There are some tricks to putting them on but nothing to hard. They have bolt holes for rubber pads but I have never used them. They clean out real good in mucky clay. The ground that I work in has a lot of sharp rock so rubber just would not work for me, they would get sliced sooner or later. Ken has all the points correct including freight, I live in Ak.I really want a set of the new Loegering VTS but that will be down the road. you get much more bang for your buck with OTT.
