The safest way to buy replacement tracks for a New Holland C238 is to start with the machine's current undercarriage configuration, then select tread for the work. TrackTECH's live catalog currently lists:
New Holland C238 rubber track sizes
- 400x86x55
- 450x86x55
Do not substitute a nearby width, pitch or link count because it looks similar. Confirm the molded size on the existing belt and any configuration-specific notes before ordering.
Choose tread after fitment
| Primary work | Good tread direction |
|---|---|
| Concrete, asphalt, hard pack | C-Block or block-style tread |
| Mixed dirt, gravel, general contracting | Zig-Zag, Staggered Block or All-Terrain |
| Mud, snow, soft ground | Multi-Bar or a more open traction pattern |
| Loose, severe or sloped terrain | Aggressive terrain tread where available |

Inspect the undercarriage before installation
- Look for hooked or uneven sprocket teeth.
- Check rollers and idlers for leakage, play, flat spots or binding.
- Verify the tensioner still has usable travel.
- Check guards, roller-frame alignment and track clearance.
Installing new rubber over damaged wear parts can shorten track life. See New Rubber Tracks on Worn Sprockets.
Verify before you buy
- Confirm make and exact model.
- Read width × pitch × links from the old track.
- Check guide family or configuration notes.
- If the marking is gone, measure the belt and verify it against the machine.

Quick Buying Answers
Which rubber track rides the smoothest? For a verified fitment that offers it, Multi-Bar is usually the first tread to compare when lower vibration and smoother travel matter most.
Which track lasts longest on pavement? On asphalt and other hard, relatively flat surfaces, Multi-Bar is a strong first choice because it spreads contact across more tread bars. For harsher abrasive work such as broken concrete, rock, or demolition debris, compare a heavier C-Block or Staggered Block pattern instead.
What is the best track for paving? Start with Multi-Bar when ride quality, steady contact, and hard-surface travel are priorities. Confirm that the exact pattern is available for your machine before ordering.
What is the most affordable track? Price depends on the exact width, pitch, link count, guide type, and tread. Once fitment is confirmed, compare the live compatible options rather than changing dimensions just to save money.
What about mud, snow, or soft ground? Zig-Zag is usually the better pattern to compare when cleanout and bite matter more than pavement manners.
