Caterpillar snow and ice tracks

Thanks for the reply Bmr. My tracks are a lot different: each individual shoe has a square hole in the center where the drive sprocket teeth ride. This design exposes the sprocket teeth to dirt/rock as opposed to snow. Accelerated wear?  

Rickoshay,

if you mean plain ol' dirt that is mostly loose, like clay and topsoil....i think that would be easy on them...and depending what you are doing, actually working it or whatever...

-my guess is snow easiest, then dirt/clay, then sand, rock, shale of any kind...maybe some other materials too
-bet there's thousands of dozers out there that have zero undercarriage that putt along fine because of running on snow, dirt, or the wife's lawn...

I would think at shows you will get more people up close to look at the ice and snow shoes rather than more common track shoes.

As far as longevity in none abrasive soil, probably not much difference. In abrasive soil life would be much shorter for bushing.
