Hi folks

I want to put rubber tracks on my Kubota U35 machine (similar size to KX91), currently has steel tracks. I started looking around this week and there are a few different tread patterns out there. The 2 most common I found are offset parallel type blocks, and the chevron V type.

I am looking for opinions and users experience on what the strengths of each type are. My main work is landscaping, some septic systems and utility installs. I don't need super traction although I do use the blade quite a bit. I need to be able to traverse concrete driveways and grass with minimal damage.

Thanks!

I think the off set block style work well on asphalt/concrete, demo. They wear well. The chevron type bite better in dirt in my opinion, I also think they ride better than the block type. The block type would likely cause less damage to grass.

Thanks for the reply. I ordered the Chevron type pattern but what was shipped is the offset block, I wasn't about to argue and return ship. I have been on 5 jobs and they seem to work fine, although not too good in snow, on grass, was wishing for the steel tracks a few times. Sure are nice on pavement/concrete though.

Cheers
