The CAT 306CR runs a 400x72.5x76 track: 400 mm across the tread, 72.5 mm between links, 76 links around. Cut for digging, trenching, backfill and tight-quarters work and shipped free to the lower 48.
What the numbers mean on a CAT 306CR
400x72.5x76 — 400 mm tread width (about 16"), 72.5 mm pitch, 76 links
Width is the tread face, pitch is the distance between drive lugs, and links is the count around the loop. All three have to match — a track one link off will not tension correctly no matter how close the width is.
Tread choice for the CAT 306CR
Size gets the track on the machine; tread decides how it works and how long it lasts. What we stock for this one:
Staggered Block — mixed dirt and gravel. Block stability with better cleanout than a straight block

Undercarriage parts for the CAT 306CR
Rollers, idlers and sprockets wear on the same clock as the track. Fitting new rubber over a hooked sprocket or a seized roller is the fastest way to lose the new track — check these while the tracks are off:
Excavator undercarriages load one side hard on slew and travel, so link cracking usually shows up before the tread wears out. Replace in pairs where you can: a new track running against a stretched one loads the drive unevenly and you will feel it in the steering.
Same track, other machines
Track size follows undercarriage geometry, not brand, so 400x72.5x76 shows up on machines from several makers. If you run any of these alongside the CAT 306CR, it is the same belt:
Not sure which you are running? Read the size off the inside of the old track, or call (850) 816-7898 and we will pull it off the machine record. The Track Finder works by make and model too.

Does TrackTECH carry undercarriage parts for the Cat 306CR?
Yes. When a matched part is available, this Cat 306CR hub can show the drive sprocket, front or rear idlers, and rollers alongside the tracks.
