Track for a tracked vehicle comprising an outside face, which, in use, is in contact with the ground while the tracked vehicle moves forward; an internal face on the back side of the outside face and which, in use, is not in contact with the ground; a first lateral end which, in use, is faced to the outside of the tracked vehicle; a second lateral end which, in use, is faced to the inner side of the tracked vehicle; wherein the track comprises: at least a first belt which is configured to be wound on a rear wheel and a front wheel and extending to a forward direction; a plurality of crosslinks transverse to the forward direction connected to at least the first belt and along the outside face of the track; a guide assembly connected along the inner face of the track and configured to define a seat assembly for the front wheel and the rear wheel; and cutting devices fixed along the inner face of the track and wherein the distance between the cutting device and the first end is smaller than the distance between the guide assembly and the first end.

A traction device for an elastomeric track comprises a first bracket comprising a first portion comprising a tapered surface and a second portion configured to be removably coupled to the first portion to define a U-shaped channel configured to receive at least a portion of an elastomeric track, a first chain coupled to the first bracket at a first end of the first chain, a second bracket coupled to a second end of first chain opposite the first bracket, and a plate coupled to the first chain between the first bracket and the second bracket, the plate configured to substantially prevent the first chain from entering the recesses of the elastomeric track. Related traction devices and methods of attaching a traction device to an elastomeric track are also disclosed.

An endless track vehicle with increased traction and/or installation, modification, and/or use of track cleats for traction for the endless track of the endless track vehicle. A body is mountable to the endless track exterior. The body defines bores extending from a first end of the body to a second end of the body, wherein the bores have counterbores. First and second cleats/bolts respectively having a cleat/bolt heads, the cleats/bolts mounted in respective bores and optional extending out a distance out of the second end of the body, wherein the cleat/bolt heads seat in the respective counterbores. Nuts may be used in the counterbores to optionally extend the cleats/bolts, and/or to secure and fasten the cleats/bolts.

A device for use with a continuous track of a tracked vehicle to enhance the traction of the vehicle. The device has an elongate body having a surface and a longitudinal axis. A bracket is arranged to secure the elongate body to the continuous track. A first ground engaging feature and a second ground engaging feature are operatively attached to the elongate body and project beyond the surface of the elongate body. The first ground engaging feature has a plurality of teeth arranged in a line and the second ground engaging feature has a plurality of teeth arranged in a line. The line of the first ground engaging feature extends at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the elongate body and at an angle relative to the line of the second ground engaging feature.

An endless track for use in propelling a snowmobile. The endless track extends between a first lateral side and a second lateral side and includes an inner drive surface and an outer ground-engaging surface. The inner drive surface includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced inner drive lugs used to drive and rotate the endless track. The outer ground-engaging surface includes a plurality of treads, where each tread extends continuous and uninterrupted along a constant height from the first lateral side to the second lateral side a full width of the endless track.

There is disclosed a cleat apparatus mountable on a track of a tractor or similar vehicle. In an embodiment, the apparatus comprises an elongate frame having a first mounting bracket at a first end of the elongate frame, the first mounting bracket adapted to latch onto a first side of a track, and a removable second mounting bracket adapted to mount to a second end of the elongate frame, and to latch onto a second side of the track. The cleat apparatus is secured in position by the mounting brackets to provide additional traction for the track in more extreme operating conditions, including snow and ice in winter. This may significantly extend the utility of tractors which otherwise may sit idle during winter months.

A track for traction of a vehicle, such as an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), a snowmobile, an agricultural vehicle, etc. The track may have rigidity (i.e., stiffness) characteristics to enhance its traction, floatation, and/or other aspects of its performance. For example, in some embodiments, a lateral bending stiffness of a carcass of the track may be symmetric while a longitudinal bending stiffness of the carcass of the track may be asymmetric.

A cross-link for a track of a tracked vehicle, in particular a snow groomer, configured to advance along delicate ground, and which extends along a designated plane and has a mounting member comprising a wall configured for being arranged in contact with the delicate ground; a blade, which protrudes from the wall, is fixed to the wall and has a free edge, wherein the wall and the blade are configured so as to define two support surfaces extending on opposite sides of the blade to enable the sinking of the blade into the delicate ground and prevent the sinking of the mounting member.

A driving system for a tracked vehicle, in particular a tracked vehicle used for the preparation of ski slopes, features a driving wheel rotatable about a first axis of rotation; an idle wheel rotatable about a second axis of rotation parallel to the first axis of rotation; and a track looped around the driving wheel and the idle wheel, and comprising a plurality of strips made of elastomeric material, and a plurality of metal grousers, fixed to the strips; wherein at least one strip has at least one continuous toothed strip, which extends along the inner face of the strip and is configured to engage with the driving wheel.

A snow grooming vehicle comprising a support frame; an engine; two tracks mounted on opposite sides of the support frame itself, coupled to and driven by the engine; and comprising a first plurality of bristles arranged in a portion of the snow grooming vehicle adjacent to the track so as to capture the snow collected on the track.
