Keep things on track

Latest development from Dutch manufacturer Zuidberg is a new high speed, aftermarket track system designed to improve traction in difficult conditions.

The new system is made better by addressing technical issues with similar products also available in the market

Fitting aftermarket systems can sometimes result in having to reduce driving speeds by up to 40%, and customers wishing to fit track systems to the rear, and retain original wheel equipment to the front will need to disengage the four wheel drive function as inter-axle ratios are incompatible.

The new Zuidberg system, intended for rear fitment, overcomes these problems by incorporating an integrated and patented transmission which keeps front and rear axle ratios intact

The system also features a suspension system which not only acts on the bogie wheels which is typical withy other brands, but also includes the complete system including the idler wheels. This function is said to increase operator comfort, but also helps prolong the life of the tractor and the track system for reduced operating costs
