The Wacker Neuson 2202RD Force runs a 230x96x36 track: 230 mm across the tread, 96 mm between links, 36 links around. Cut for digging, trenching, backfill and tight-quarters work and shipped free to the lower 48.
What the numbers mean on a Wacker Neuson 2202RD Force
- 230x96x36 — 230 mm tread width (about 9"), 96 mm pitch, 36 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 Wacker Neuson 2202RD Force
Size gets the track on the machine; tread decides how it works and how long it lasts. What we stock for this one:
- MX — mixed and hard surfaces. A durable general-duty excavator tread
How these wear
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.
