Block Tread Pattern

Block Tread

The staggered block tread is the most common pattern and is often equipped on new track loaders from the factory.  It is generally the most durable and is suitable for a wide range of applications.  While performing best on hard surfaces, the block pattern works well on many terrains such as gravel, asphalt, dirt, mud, clay, or even sand.

The block pattern also has a larger rubber surface than other tracks which makes it preferable when trying to avoid damage to the ground.  Block treads are considered to be a generable purpose tread while other patterns are designed for more specific applications.
