6 ultimate tips to optimise the lifespan of tracks

An important advantage of tracks is that they have better traction than tyres and reduced ground pressure, resulting in lesser surface imprint.

In fact, they can amount to up to 50% of your machine’s maintenance cost! Luckily, there are various ways in which you can optimise the lifespan of tracks.
