Mattracks debuts new narrow tracks

Mattracks has announced availability of the narrowest tracks in the industry – starting at only 9.6 inches and ranging up to 12 inches wide. Specifically designed for row crops, the newly released narrow tracks can reduce compaction by up to 40% compared with tires, contributing to higher yields and profits, according to the company.

“For row crop farmers, soil compaction is the number one concern,” says Dan Laux, Mattracks vice president of operations. “Tires compact the soil in between rows, which can significantly reduce the effectiveness of fertilizers and chemicals. Our new narrow-track models have significantly higher ground contact area compared with tires of the same width, thus minimizing compaction, and ultimately producing higher yields.”

Mattracks’s narrow row crop track options include the 9.6-inch Track-tor-Assist (TA) 9000-LM-1010, as well as 12-inch narrow track options. The Mattracks non-driven Trail-R-Mate tracks have also been built with 12-inch narrow tracks.

The Mattracks track conversion systems feature an exclusive rubber torsion anti-torque system and internal rubber torsion rocker suspension. Also unique to Mattracks is a concentric pivot frame designed to reduce track slack variation during suspension travel. The systems are built with steel frames and an all-terrain, self-cleaning tread style.

Mattracks is taking orders now with a lead time of two-six months. Pricing depends on model, size, and configuration options. For more information including all technical specifications, go to mattracks.co.
