  • Brand New

    New belts — not remills or retreads.

  • Drop Forged Steel Links

    Heat-treated guides for sprocket engagement.

  • Continuous Steel Cord

    Endless cord — no splice weak points.

  • 100% Virgin Rubber

    Contractor-grade compound for abrasion.

  • Precision Fitment

    OEM-spec width, pitch, and link count.

  • High-Traction, Low-Vibration

    Tread patterns matched to the jobsite.

Snow and ice punish closed tread patterns. Packed snow fills the voids, the belt polishes smooth, and a compact track loader (CTL) or skid steer starts skating. Zig-Zag is the TrackTECH tread we recommend for winter work.

Zig-Zag rubber tracks for snow and mixed terrain — TrackTECH
Zig-Zag for winter traction — self-cleaning channels for snow, ice melt, and packed gravel.

Open channels shed pack, staggered lugs bite on ice melt and gravel, and the ride stays smoother than aggressive block patterns when you roll back onto pavement. Same OEM-fit width, pitch, and links as your machine stamp — tread choice only, not a different fitment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers for contractors and search snippets

  • What tread is best for snow and ice on a skid steer?
    Zig-Zag. Open channels shed packed snow better than closed turf patterns, with solid bite on ice melt and gravel.
  • Will Zig-Zag fit my Bobcat T190 or CAT 249D?
    Yes when your size stamp matches — verified TrackTECH sizes for those machines are 320x86x49 and 400x86x49.
  • Is this a different track carcass?
    No. Same width, pitch, and links as your OEM-fit size. You are choosing tread for winter traction.
  • Do TrackTECH snow-season tracks ship free?
    Free shipping to the lower 48 on qualifying rubber track orders. Same-day ship before 12 PM CT when in stock.
