CAT 299D Rubber Tracks – Size 450x86x60

Description

When you’re operating a 95-horsepower loader that weighs 11,000 pounds, your Caterpillar 299D compact track loader tracks have to transfer a massive amount of engine power straight to the ground. To move material efficiently, your rubber track must handle hydraulic torque easily, so you maintain solid traction and conserve fuel on the job. Because this large-frame loader handles punishing multi-ton bucket capacities and heavy, high-flow attachments like forestry mulchers or cold planers, standard aftermarket options frequently stretch or break links under the stress. Our heavy-duty replacement rubber tracks are built specifically to handle that extreme workload, mounting directly to the 299D chassis with no tensioning issues. We build these tracks with continuous high-tensile steel cords wound right through the center of the carcass to eliminate weak internal seams, keeping your machine out of the repair shop and moving dirt on the job.

Our tracks feature deep tread depth and thick cut-resistant rubber to prevent tearing. The internal drive links are precisely spaced to align with your CAT undercarriage, giving you a smoother ride and reducing cab vibration.

Rubber Track Manufacturing & Materials

Our rubber tracks for the Caterpillar 299D are built to strict manufacturing standards that surpass standard aftermarket alternatives. Here are a few key features in our manufacturing:

• Continuous Steel Cable: Internal seams are the leading cause of track failure on high-horsepower equipment. We eliminate this weak point entirely by wrapping a single, unbroken strand of high-tensile steel cable from edge to edge. This continuous-wound core ensures your track won’t snap under max load.
• Forged Iron Links: Every internal link insert is manufactured from forged iron. This ensures proper alignment with the equipment’s sprocket teeth, lowering the risk of throwing a track on uneven and steep slopes.
• Durable Natural Rubber: Engineered from a premium, tire-grade natural rubber blend, these tracks are highly resistant to rock puncturing and asphalt chunking. This advanced compound also prevents dry rot when your machine sits on sunny job sites.

Caterpillar 299D Tracks Specifications

We stock a complete inventory of heavy-duty Cat 299D rubber tracks to match your machine’s exact configuration requirements:

Track Profile Selection Guide

The maximum-frame CAT 299D undercarriage relies on a dedicated 450mm wide track configuration to handle its intense operating weight and ground-drive forces:

• 450mm (Standard 18-Inch Wide): Spreads out the loader’s 11,000-pound weight across an extended ground footprint. Running these heavy-duty 450x86x60 rubber tracks gives you a wide contact patch that floats right over slick clay, loose sand, or deep mud without tearing up a customer’s lawn.

Our premium replacement tracks for Cat 299D CTLs are manufactured to directly replace OEM factory part numbers: 304-1909, 372-5798, 512-3709, 592-5830, and 584-7124.

Cat 299D Track Tread Options

To get more hours out of your Cat 299D tracks, you have to match the tread style to the ground you work on every day. Hanging a heavy mulcher or cold planer off the front boom makes the machine nose-heavy, forcing the front rollers down and grinding away cheap rubber on hot asphalt, concrete, or jagged rock. We stock multiple application-specific tread designs to maximize your traction and extend your track wear life:

Undercarriage Fitment Guide

Installing brand-new tracks on severely worn sprockets, rollers, or idlers accelerates track wear and causes tooth skipping. Because the 299D relies on large-frame fully suspended undercarriage setups with dual-torsion axles, keeping tabs on your wear parts is vital. Prior to mounting your new rubber tracks, always inspect your matching CAT 299D undercarriage components:

• Drive Sprockets: Check for thin or pointed teeth. Worn teeth will grind away the rubber coating on the internal iron links of your track.
• Front & Rear Idlers: Ensure they spin freely and are not grooved out, which ruins track alignment and correct tensioning.
• Track Rollers: Inspect bottom rollers for flat spots, seized bearings, or oil leaks. Faulty rollers can cause premature cracking and wear to the rubber compound around the track guides.

With over 19 US warehouses, we ship directly from our closest regional warehouse to your location. Most orders deliver in 1 to 2 business days so you can get your track loader back to work.
