Tractiontracks® by PC SALES are PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA IMPORTANT NOTE: Even with current steel prices, supply shortages of all kinds of raw materials, and the ever increasing costs of shipping logistics (a result of high fuel prices), we ARE STILL doing our VERY BEST to try to keep our pricing structure as low as we possibly can. If you are planning on purchasing a set, please take advantage of the current pricing. It is honestly getting to the point where we are going to have no choice but to increase our prices sometime in the very near future as we can't keep absorbing all increases in the cost. Thank you!! Please note, we have been on eBay since 1998. We offer our tracks under this user name (TractionTracks) and our skid steer mirrors under our other user name of " Reserveless-Auctions "...please be sure to check out our equipment safety mirrors under that name.... Our tracks will turn your machine into a real work horse. No more getting stuck in the mud and your skidsteer will climb almost anything. Our tracks are fitted based on the tires size so they will also fit pretty much any skid steer on the market with the same size tires. Including, but not limited to, Bobcat, Cat, Gehl, Mustang, New Holland, Case Takeuchi, Thomas and many more. PRICE NOW INCLUDES SHIPPING!!! PRICE NOW INCLUDES SHIPPING!!! PRICE NOW INCLUDES SHIPPING!!! (Shipping is to 48 Continental United States ONLY, for all other destinations, please message us for a quote). IMPORTANT: THIS LISTING IS FOR A SET (includes both sides) OF OUR 10 x 16.5 tracks for machines with UP to a 49'' wheelbase (Simply measure from FRONT of front tire to FRONT of rear tire). This set fits all standard size 10" tires...if you have or need other sizes please contact us before bidding or buying so we can confirm what size you need. All our products are IN STOCK & READY FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPMENT. We ship daily Monday - Friday Before attempting to mount tracks to your machine please note that the tracks require approximately 3 inches of clearance between the sidewalls of the tires and the body of the machine (we recommend NO LESS THAN 2 ½”). The tracks are designed to flex and reshape to the curve of the tires and will require this space during operation. If you do not already have at least this amount of clearance (most modern machines already do) then you may be able to flip your rims (dished out) to gain added space. If at this point you still do not have the clearance (very rare), then you will need to purchase wheel spacers from your local dealer. Failure to heed this warning may result in the chains rubbing the body of the machine causing damage to machine and/or tracks. For other sizes, please see our other auctions or send us a message to list the size you need. At this time we are only shipping to the Continental 48 United States (for Hawaii, Alaska & international shipments, PLEASE contact us and we will calculate the costs for you). PLEASE NOTE that North Carolina Sales are subject to 6.75% Sales Tax and as of 01/01/2019 ebay may be required to charge sales tax, depending on your state's particular individual requirements.. We always try to describe our tracks in our listings and online with as much detailed as possible, but we know there are always other questions and concerns and we are always MORE THAN HAPPY to answer them. HOWEVER, please note that due to EBAY'S STRICT NEW POLICY (implemented to us in Sept. 2017), we have been told that we are no longer allowed to put our customer service phone number here on our listings....they demand that all questions now to be channeled through their messaging system by clicking "ASK A QUESTION" link found at the bottom of the listing. We HIGHLY apologize for this ridiculous requirement, but we have absolutely no say so in the matter. We have been told point blank that if we don't obey them they will shut down our listings....we realize this is a major inconvenience (to all sellers and buyers on here), but they won't give an inch on this.

Our original Deluxe Skid Steer Tracks have now been upgraded to our new and improved MANGANESE ALLOY DELUXE tracks. They are now made from an extremely high quality Manganese 11 aught (7/16") MANGANESE ALLOY SIDE CHAIN that is specifically designed for use with tires and where extreme wear is a major factor. You must keep in mind that with chain style tracks the chain links are the pivot points for movement around the drive area of the tires, and they are what take the bulk of wear during use. Therefore, the chain must be made from a quality material that is designed for high wear and strength in order to give a long life expectancy. Our Manganese Alloy Side Chain is chemically THRU hardened giving it a GRADE 80 rating and it does not lose its composition or integrity when heat is applied to it during the process of welding the cleats to the chain, so it retains its original strength. The use of this Manganese Alloy Grade 80 “thru hardened” chain results in a MUCH longer lasting set of tracks (in comparison, when heat is applied to just a simple case hardened tow or transport chain (i.e. grade 70), the links to which the cleats are welded can loose their heat treated “case hardening” and they can actually become soft or brittle…this of course makes for a set of tracks that will constantly stretch and wear out quickly at these weakened points). Also, please keep in mind that Grade 70 chain is a 'binder chain' that is only designed for a straight pull ....but our Grade 80 Alloy Chain is designed for use where high wear is major factor. We ONLY use Long Link Side Chain because it is specifically designed for use with tires. In addition the longer link gives a larger area for the welds between the chains and cleats than a standard link chain and therefore allows for 2 full inches of weld on both the inside and outside of each contact point between the cleats and the chain. This equates to 8 full inches of extremely deep, strong, stick welding on every cleat. Our cleats are "end welded" to the chains to bring the chains further down the sidewalls of the tires for a more secure fit. This "end weld" also protects the tires by covering the entire sharp end of the cleats and only allowing the smooth surface of the chains come in contact with the tires' sidewalls. After literally dozens of Demo sets being tested, tried, used and abused we have always found that the most wear and most abuse taken is to the chains and not the cleats. In fact, the cleats get far less wear then one would think. This is due in part to the fact that the leading edge of the cleats is what dig in for traction, therefore, they tend to wear from front to back more than they do from bottom to top. We have never had nor heard of one of our cleats wearing out. For these reasons our Deluxe Model is made from our new 7/16" (11 aught) Manganese Alloy chain (which actually weighs about 10% less then comparable steel chain) and we couple them to 3/8" thick cleats because we have found using anything heavier than 3/8" cleats only seems to add unnecessary cost and weight. The end result....a set of tracks that is affordable for almost any skid steer owner and not only do they LAST LONGER but are still light enough for one person to install and remove by themselves, something we consider to be an EXTREMELY important point. Our 10 & 12 inch tracks weigh in at approx. 100 pounds per side (about 200 pounds per set). This means easier installation, easier handling and far less drag on the machine. We also offer this design with a 14 aught (1/2") Alloy Chain, but these are usually far more than almost any skid steer would ever need. In fact, we actually do not even recommend this size unless you have at least a 14 x 17.5 tired machine. The use of our configurations and Manganese Alloy Chain is considered to be such an improvement over previous chains commonly used that we were able to apply this latest design for a new US Patent. Does all this sound like overkill? Perhaps.....but please understand that we not only sell tracks, we use them (and abuse them) with our own skid steers so we know what these so called "little machines" are capable of doing and the situations that we always end up putting them in. Think about it.......Rugged wear resistant Manganese Alloy Chain...8 full inches of weld per cleat....Still sound like overkill?? We don't think so either. TractionTracks®....The Difference in being STUCK and being DONE!! WE HAVE DONE IT AGAIN....WE HAVE INCREASED OUR CHAIN FROM 3/8" to 7/16"...MAKING OUR TRACKS EVEN BETTER!!! THE MANGANESE ALLOY SIDE CHAIN THAT WE NORMALLY USED FOR OUR DELUXE TRACKS WAS 9 AUGHT (3/8"), HOWEVER, WE HAVE LITERALLY RAN OUR CHAIN SUPPLIERS 0UT OF ST0CK BECAUSE OF THE HIGH VOLUME OF SALES THAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING! DURING THAT TIME THEY PROVIDED US WITH 11 AUGHT (7/16") CHAIN TO KEEP US GOING. WE HAD SUCH A TERRIFIC POSITIVE CUSTOMER RESPONSE ABOUT THE USE OF THE HEAVIER CHAIN THAT WE HAVE DECIDED TO CONTINUE TO ONLY USE 7/16" CHAIN FROM NOW ON. YOUR ALLOY DELUXE TRACKS WILL BE MADE OF 7/16" MANGANESE SIDE CHAIN FOR THE SAME PRICE THAT WE NORMALLY OFFER OUR 3/8" !!! THESE CHAINS ARE EVEN MORE UNBELIEVABLY TOUGH & RUGGED. ALSO, THE FACT THAT THIS IS STILL THE SAME EXACT MANGANESE ALLOY THE WEIGHT INCREASE IS VERY MINIMAL...THEY STILL WEIGH IN AT UNDER 120 POUNDS PER SIDE!!!!!!! OUR 3/8" CHAIN DIDN'T FAIL UNTIL OVER 24,000 LBS OF PULL WAS APPLIED....SO WE ARE ESTIMATING THAT THIS 7/16" WOULDN'T UNTIL AT LEAST 30,000 LBS OR MORE.... WE BROKE A 42" LONG SET OF BOLT CUTTERS EXPERIMENTING WITH IT AND WE BARELY DENTED THE SURFACE.!! 24,000 lb. Load Test ! Would YOU be able to take the strain?.......... In our quest to bring you the highest quality we had a link of our Manganese Alloy 3/8" chain load tested and, believe it or not, it didn't fail until OVER 24,000 pounds of pull........THAT IS A LOT OF PULL! Add that to the fact that we are now using ONLY 7/16 - which makes our tracks EVEN STRONGER!! This just reinforces the TractionTracks Motto... WE are the difference in being stuck.... and being DONE!!
