In one aspect, a track shoe assembly may include a shoe plate having a shoe plate body including a shoe plate attachment surface, and at least two slots extending through at least the shoe plate attachment surface. The track shoe assembly may also include a grouser having a grouser body having a grouser attachment surface, and at least two tabs, integrally formed with the grouser body, the at least two tabs extending from the grouser attachment surface, and perpendicular to the grouser attachment surface, the at least two tabs of the grouser being configured to be positioned within the at least two slots of the shoe plate. In another aspect, a method of manufacturing a track shoe assembly may include forming a shoe plate as described above, forming a grouser as described above, and attaching the grouser to the shoe plate to thereby form a track shoe assembly.

A track for a vehicle (e.g., an agricultural vehicle) is configured to enhance traction and/or floatation on a ground (e.g., of an agricultural field) while reducing pressure (i.e., applying substantially no or less pressure) on a selected region of the ground (e.g., a planting row of the agricultural field, such as to reduce soil compaction for promoting plant growth) and/or to improve roading (e.g., travel faster on a road).

The invention discloses a track element (80) for forming a continuous over tyre track (100), includes a generally C-shaped rigid member (10) having a base portion (10a) extending transversely to the track (100), a tapered side guide member (10b) on each end of the base portion (10a), and at least one inter-engaging connector member (10c) on each side of the base portion (10a); wherein the rigid member (10) is encased in a coating of elastomeric material (20).

A track chain assembly comprises a plurality of interlocking track chain members wherein each track chain member defines a track chain traveling direction, a lateral direction perpendicular to the track chain traveling direction, and includes a shoe member defining a shoe width along the lateral direction; and a first track pad member defining a first track pad maximum width along the lateral direction, and a second track pad member defining a second maximum track pad width along the lateral direction, wherein a ratio of either track pad maximum widths to the shoe member width ranges from 1:4 to 3:4. The first and the second track pad members each include a first projection disposed at one lateral extremity of the first track pad member and a second projection disposed at another lateral extremity of the second track pad member.

A track shoe assembly includes a pad portion, and a grouser that extends from the pad portion along a direction that is perpendicular to the pad portion, terminating at a free end. A first cap is attached to the grouser, at least partially covering the free end of the grouser. The cap comprises a wear resistant material such as a white iron material or a carbide material.

Provided herein is a protective rubber track shoe for an excavator, which includes a first-stage rubber mix and a second-stage rubber mix. The first-stage rubber mix consists of a natural rubber, a chloroprene rubber, a butadiene rubber, a styrene-butadiene rubber, a tire reclaim rubber, a 120-mesh rubber powder, zinc oxide, stearic acid, an anti-aging agent 3100, an anti-aging agent CTU, paraffin wax, an intermediate super abrasion furnace carbon black and an aromatic oil. The second-stage rubber mix consists of the first-stage rubber mix, sulfur, an accelerator CZ and an auxiliary agent.

An endless track for propelling a snowmobile. The endless track includes an inner drive surface, and an outer ground-engaging surface opposite to the inner drive surface. A plurality of reinforcing rods each extend along a track width in rod rows and are spaced apart at a drive pitch length along a track length. A plurality of treads each extend from the outer ground-engaging surface and are spaced apart at a tread pitch length along the track length. At least two of the plurality of reinforcing rods have different lengths.
