        <summary>Our 16" wide track works real well with this machine but we are still trying to push our steel tracks with bolt on rubber pads. The rubber track is going to cost $1345 each. So if you're buying a set that's $2690. If you spend just a little bit more ($585) you can get a set of steel tracks with bolt on rubber pads for only $3275. That's a great deal!

        <summary>The technical sheet for the Takeuchi TB285 steel tracked machine specifies a 22" wide steel shoe. This is an expensive option both from a new purchase point of view and servicing the machine later down the line. We are currently talking with a potential customer to purchase the machine as an 18" wide rubber tracked machine, take off the rubber tracks and install our 18" wide steel tracks with bolt on rubber pads. Customer would be able to use the new rubber tracks on his old TB175 or sell them as new. As for future rubber pads costs it will be a lot cheaper to buy 18" pads over 22" wide pads. We'll keep you up to date with what happens.</summary>
