At SteelTracks.com, we’ve seen firsthand how tough conditions can take their toll on undercarriage systems. A recent customer from Franklin Farms in West Virginia reminded us why so many operators are making the switch from rubber to steel. Email: [email protected]
Rocky Terrain Meets Rubber Tracks
Working in rocky, steep terrain for years, this operator had gone through multiple sets of rubber tracks on his Terex TC75. Each time, the tracks snagged, snapped, and left him frustrated with downtime and replacement costs. After reading stories from other customers who converted their machines to steel, he reached out to us looking for a better solution.
Thinking Beyond “Computer Inventory”
When we pulled up the specs for the Terex TC75 steel tracks, our system initially showed zero steel in stock. But that’s where experience matters. Instead of stopping there, we double-checked chain measurements and realized we had 44-link chains on hand (the TC75 requires 45). With some additional shoes and pins, he could easily pin in the extra link himself.
The Customer’s Call
We explained the situation and offered a rubber track to keep him moving in the meantime. His response was firm:
“Absolutely not. I’ll never buy rubber tracks again for this machine.”
So, we moved forward with the 44-link steel setup, added the extra shoes and pins, and shipped them out immediately. An update will follow once installation is complete, but one thing is certain: this machine is now tracking toward a much tougher future.
