Hey, what's your pattern? Hey, this is Ben
with ConEquip 101 and I'm going over rubber track patterns. So, why are there
so many different variations and rubber track patterns? It's a great question.
It's even better when you pick the right pattern for the type of work that you're
gonna be doing for your business. So let me go over a couple pointers to maybe
help you decide on which type of rubber track is gonna be best suited for your
needs. First up is gonna be a "C" pattern track. This one is kind of a universal
rubber track designed a little bit more for aggression in in mud and grip mud thus the "C" pattern. There's a couple more connecting points on the dirt and in the mud but it's also got some thick
rubber on it also for demolition purposes, run it through rock, rebar. You never want to go through rebar but if you have to, also conditions like that. Next
up we have the block style pattern. This one is mainly meant for heavy duty
demolition, heavy construction. I'm running over a lot of crap and I don't care
type of track pattern. That's what that's for. Not much in the way of grip in the
in the mud conditions and sandy conditions at all but you want to run
over stuff that's the pattern you want to get. Next up is the straight bar style.
Those styles are designed when you need a softer application on the ground such
as going into real nice backyards all the time, you try not to tear up the yard. Not quite golf course style, they have their own style, but you want more surface area on
the ground less traction but you need to be smooth that's what the bar style is
for. Next up will go onto the golf course. These are green typically or even an
orange style track that they've come out with. There's very little grip on these
tracks, take a close-up look, see that? Not much there to look at is there? For the
purpose of not leaving any markings on the track. They're also called
non-marking tracks for that reason. Golf course have at it but with this track you don't want to be on the 9th hole at 9:00 p.m. when the
sprinkler systems come out. Happy Gilmour: Almost 9 o'clock! (HAPPY GILMOUR GETS WET) Because you ain't getting no traction.
You'll be sitting out there going in circles and everything else. No traction,
it's not what those two tracks are meant for. And lastly we have the zig zag
pattern. Just an overall general use type of track. Got good traction, there's a lot
of contact points to the ground that you'll be on. Not a heavy-duty one but
somebody that might be in a landscape yard might be just doing some oddball
stuff, might be good for a rental company that just needs an all-around type of
track to go through, that might be for you. But hey, hope that helped you out. For now I'm been with ConEquip 101. Check us
