New SOLIDEAL rubber tracks are the Real Deal

When is comes to agricultural rubber tracks for tractors there have been few options for Australian Farmers. New to the market are the range of Tiger and Leopard series agri tracks and rollers made by Solideal.

European based Solideal are well known for their quality industrial and construction tyres and rubber tracks. Through their process of vertical integration they established a manufacturing and testing division for agricultural rubber track production. Solideal tracks have been available in Australia for the past several years but only in limited sizes and types.

Ian Smith of Baboo Pastoral, Green Range, W.A was one of the first Australian farmers to use Solideal tracks. His CAT 65C was fitted with LEOPARD series 24"x56"x6 Ag tracks. Price was a major factor in choosing Solideal however he immediately noticed a diffaerence in lower vibration and more positive drive through all work including ploughing, chaser bin driving and seeding.

Solideal have now increased their production ability and added a swag of new sizes in order to set a new standard in the industry. The construction of tracks, built from the inside out, includes the use of premium natural rubber:

• Starting with the strongest, thickest steel cables in the industry, Solideal Ag tracks are wound symmetrically to ensure a true guide on the undercarriage.
• Using up to 5 plies, Solideal Ag tracks provide the strength you need without damaging sensitive soil.
• Two unique tread patterns; Solideal gives operators the opportunity to choose what tread pattern will work best in their applications and best suited to their needs in terms of mileage or traction.
• Guiding lugs and tread bars are molded into the track, which reduces considerably the risk of guiding lugs breaking off the track: the easiest way to save your own time and money.

Solideal Agri tracks are designed to provide the best performance for both machine and application. Tractor brands such as John Deere, CAT, Challenger/AGCO and Claas have a dedicated size and type designed specifically to suit model type. The development of the product range is based on 3 lines:

• LEOPARD series tracks for high mileage and flotation in general farm use,
• TIGER series tracks for high traction with strong positive drive, and
• MID ROLLERS designed for longest service life and functionality.

In order to provide Australian farmers with the best rural support the Australian Solideal distributor has established a network of companies to assist with product information and sales support known as Solidealers. Your local Solidealer also has access to specialised pricing and information on all sizes and products in the Solideal agricultural range.
