Any crawler tractor is only as good as its track frames,
and that’s why we are proud of the engineering of the
frames of our D15.

‘The track frames are the strongest in the industry in this
power classification and 800 percent stronger than channel
designs. The track frame assembly is made up of the two
box sections at (B) which are welded on all four corners.
These two sections are then joined together by means
of heavy duty internal gussets at (4). At the top, they
are joined with three-quarter-inch thick steel plates. The
plates at (C) are designed to relieve stress points and
provide a rugged track frame.

accidents estimated to occur
in Canada each year is failure

figure can be drastically
reduced by farmers devising
