Add-On Track System For Tractors, Combines
You first featured them in FARM SHOW about 10 years ago when they were new (Vol. 10, No. 5). They've been used successfully now with very few changes from the original design.
Sure-Trac consists of heavy-duty cleats that wrap around any tire like tractor chains. They provide greater flotation and traction in soft or muddy fields. Unlike other, more costly add-on track systems, you can mount or dismount them quickly as needed. No sprockets, idlers, rollers, etc.
The 3/8-in. thick steel cleats are available in 3 by 4-in. or 4 by 6-in. angle iron. Each cleat is welded to individually pivoted bar-chain link sections. They're held in place on the tire by U-shaped brackets along both sides. (Modern Agri-Systems, Inc., W2817 Dundas Rd., Brillion, Wis. 54110 ph 920 766-7709)
