Conventional Sealed and Lubricated Track

Conventional bushing
wear occurs always
when in reverse and in
forward when
undercarriage is worn
TRACK-TYPE TRACTOR VALUE SELLING

Conventional bushing
wear occurs in both
directions when track
tension is too tight
2008 SPRING TRAINING

SystemOne Track

SystemOne bushing rotates,

therefore eliminates bushing
wear in reverse and forward

backed off to 100% (per Deere documentation)
Not a system solution
Bushing turns still not eliminated as marketed

Differentiation

New hard-sided link design

Separate Inner/Outer Link Design
Resists thrust-bias wear
7-Bolt Tough Steel Segments
Longer 218mm pitch, allows retrofit from D8N D8T
7-bolt mounting (vs. std. With 5-bolt), longer-life without bolt loosening
Reusable for 2nd UC, for most applications
Cat Manufactured Cartridge
Rotating Bushing eliminates P&B Turns, bushing does not limit UC life
Sealing System enhancement for longer seal life, no maintenance
Higher speed reverse no longer a worry
Serrated Master Standard
Reliability
Serviceability Same concept as Conventional Master
Hard-sided Center Tread Idler
Allows up to 1.5x link life
Reusable for 2nd UC without rebuild
Reduces link scallop
New design resists thrust-bias wear
