Frequently Asked Questions

Common fitment, shipping, and rubber track replacement questions

Will this track fit my CAT 279C2?
Yes — this track is matched to the CAT 279C2 by size and tread pattern.
What warranty comes with CAT 279C2 tracks?
Our rubber tracks carry a 24-month warranty against manufacturing defects, with continuous steel cords and wear-resistant compounds. Technicians by trade; heavy duty comes standard.
How long do CAT 279C2 rubber tracks last?
Most rubber tracks last 1,200–1,600 operating hours depending on terrain, alignment, and tension. Keeping tracks tensioned and clearing debris daily extends life.
Directional or block tread — which should I run?
For mixed dirt and gravel, most CAT 279C2 owners run a directional (multi-bar) tread for traction and mud release. Block tread wears better on hard surfaces and pavement.
