Add-On Tracks Fit Implements, 2-WD Tractors
Mattracks tracks for pickups have been popular across the Midwest and other areas for years (see FARM SHOW'S Vol. 19, No. 6). The track conversion system can be fitted to nearly any 4-WD vehicle including pickups, vans, SUV's, and even school buses. It consists of four separate triangular, 16-in. wide tracks.
Recently Mattracks showed off its new "Trail-R-Mate" tracks designed to mount on non-powered implements such as gravity wagons, round balers, anhydrous trailers, dirt scrapers, etc. They can even be used to replace the front wheels on 2-WD tractors.
Jerry Brazier, vice president of sales and marketing, says the tracks are still at the testing and prototype stage. The 16-in. wide tracks reduce ground pressure, with 18.7 sq. ft. of surface contact, providing "unbelievable flotation", according to Brazier. The tracks take about 20 minutes apiece to install.
