FAQs

The biggest question we get is “What tracks do you recommend?” 

Our custom Track Packages allow you to get the right tracks for your machine. Our experts will guide you through selecting the best track package for your equipment and terrain. Our custom track packages come with pre-installed studs. 

 

Otherwise, the recommended tracks for our studs are the staggered block tracks. The reason for this is, there is a metal structural plate that runs on each side of the block. This will allow you to install the studs in the center of the block without hitting the metal structural plate. See images below.

Please use the eform below to upload an image of your tracks and we will let know if they are compatible with our traction attachments.

Test Hole Guide

Want to ensure compatibility? Use this as a reference for test hole placement. This will help ensure our studs are compatible with your track.

This guide demonstrates proper hole placement, so you only drill through the rubber, and avoid the metal structural plate.

Please see some commonly asked questions below, or reach out anytime, we’d love to hear from you. 

  • Can you use the studs all year round?
    Yes, you can use the studs all year round if you are not working on asphalt or concrete.
  • What is the life expectance of the studs?
    The life expectance of the studs is 1-2 years, depending on the application, terrain, and the operator.
  • How are the studs installed?
    The studs are installed by drilling directly through the rubber tracks, missing the structural plate making the studs one with the tracks.
  • Can the studs be removed?
    Yes, the studs can be removed if you use anti-seize on the studs when installing them. Then you can use our Claw M driver we supply with the package to remove them.
  • Can the studs be installed on any tracks?
    No, the studs cannot be installed on just any track. Each rubber track on the market has a metal structural plate. Our recommended rubber tracks for our products are the block style tracks, with this style we drill in the middle of the rubber block missing the metal structural plate. Any other track pattern needs to be discussed with Claw M’s staff to determine where the metal structural plate is located at 1-866-578-8780

“I purchased a set of the Ultimate Traction tracks for my Bobcat T 650 and I am so pleased with how well they performed. I love the track machine but have struggled with it in the past clearing snow and working in icy conditions. The traction I have with these studs installed was beyond my expectation. They made plowing heavy snow a breeze. These tracks way out-performed my tire machine Bobcat with chains. The service at Claw M is top-notch and I would highly recommend this product and company.”
