Tread Pattern Guide
Compare common TrackTECH rubber track tread patterns by traction, ride comfort, surface protection, and jobsite conditions.
Balanced Jobsite Performance
Best for: general construction, dirt, gravel, clay, and mixed jobsite use.
C-Block tracks are a strong all-around option for compact track loaders working across everyday jobsite conditions. They provide dependable traction, a stable ride, and balanced wear life without being overly aggressive on the ground.
Aggressive Traction
Best for: mud, loose soil, slopes, clay, and soft ground.
Zig-Zag tracks use an alternating lug design to improve bite and help the track clean out in loose or wet conditions. This pattern is a strong choice when traction and hillside control matter more than surface protection.
Severe-Duty Terrain
Best for: rough terrain, demolition, forestry, heavy dirt work, and severe-duty jobsites.
X-Terrain tracks are built for harsh jobsite conditions where maximum bite and durability are the priority. This pattern is ideal for demanding work where traction, stability, and rugged performance matter most.
Mini Excavator Control
Best for: mini excavators, trenching, grading, utility work, and mixed surfaces.
Directional tracks are commonly used on mini excavators where forward traction, controlled movement, and dependable wear are important. This pattern helps provide predictable movement across dirt, gravel, clay, and general excavation conditions.

Common questions about 400x86x50 rubber tracks
The 400x86x50 uses 400x86bx50 rubber tracks (Width: 400mm, Links: 50). This product is the Multi Bar tread option, built for dependable traction and jobsite durability. Always verify the size stamped on your existing track or use the TrackTECH Rubber Track Finder before ordering.
Matching drive sprocket options for the 400x86x50 include John Deere 317G Sprocket | Part #T349306 and Drive Sprocket | Part #SP87460888. When installing new rubber tracks, inspect sprockets for hooked, sharp, or uneven teeth because worn sprockets can shorten track life and damage the drive lugs.
Matching bottom roller or track roller options for the 400x86x50 include Bottom Roller | Part #TR87535297. Replacing worn rollers before installing new rubber tracks helps keep the undercarriage aligned and reduces uneven wear across the track carcass.
Matching front idler options for the 400x86x50 include New Holland Front Idler | Part #FI87535298. Front idlers guide the track and help maintain proper tension, so inspect the flange, bearing condition, and wear surface before installing new tracks.
Matching rear idler options for the 400x86x50 include New Holland Rear Idler | Part #RR87535299 and John Deere Rear Idler | Part #RRAT493209. A worn rear idler can contribute to poor track alignment, derailment, and premature edge wear, especially after new rubber tracks are installed.
The 400x86bx50 rubber track size is used across multiple compact machines, including New Holland VTS. Always confirm by checking the size stamped on your current track and your machine serial number before ordering.
