John Deere's green machines are fixtures on job sites across North America. Whether you're running a G-Series compact track loader or one of their mini excavator models, getting the right replacement tracks keeps your Deere running at peak performance.
John Deere G-Series CTL Track Sizes
Deere's current CTL lineup uses standardized track sizes that match competitor machines — good news for parts availability and pricing:
317G: This popular mid-size CTL runs 320x86x52 tracks. The 320mm width provides good maneuverability while the 52-link configuration matches the machine's undercarriage geometry.
325G: Steps up to 400x86x52 tracks — wider for better flotation and load distribution on the heavier machine. Same link count as the 317G despite the size increase.
331G: Also uses 400x86x52 tracks, sharing parts commonality with the 325G. Operators often run these machines interchangeably on fleet operations.
333G: Deere's largest CTL runs 450x86x55 tracks. The extra width and link count handle the machine's higher operating capacity and pushing forces.
John Deere Mini Excavator Track Sizes
Deere's excavator line uses the standard excavator pitch configurations rather than the 86mm CTL pitch:
17G/26G/30G/35G Class: These smaller machines use 52.5mm pitch tracks in widths from 230mm to 350mm depending on the specific model. Always verify by serial number — Deere has produced multiple configurations over the years.
50G/60G Class: Mid-size Deere excavators typically run 72.5mm pitch tracks in 400mm widths. Link counts vary by model year.
75G/85G Class: Larger excavators use wider tracks with higher link counts. These machines often share track specifications with comparable Hitachi models (Deere's excavator partner).
OEM vs Aftermarket for Deere
John Deere dealers are known for premium pricing on parts and service. Track replacement is no exception — OEM Deere tracks often cost 40-60% more than equivalent aftermarket options.
The quality difference? Minimal to none. Premium aftermarket tracks use the same steel cord reinforcement, similar rubber compounds, and identical dimensional specifications. The main difference is the logo on the sidewall and the price on the invoice.

Track Selection Tips for Deere Operators
Deere's reputation for reliability means operators often push high hours on their equipment. Track selection should match your typical duty cycle:
Construction and earthmoving: standard C-lug patterns offer the best combination of traction and durability. Agricultural applications: consider block or multi-bar patterns for reduced ground disturbance. Mixed use: multi-bar patterns balance traction with versatility.
