Turf tracks for ditch witch

Just received our first tracked machine. An SK800

Does anyone here know of a smooth or turf style track that will fit this machine. I’ve searched the web already.

Thread 'Green tracks'

Jul 27, 2024

Does anyone use green tracks or something like them? They are smooth skidsteer tracks that allegedly limit turn damage when turning. I have a kubota svl75 (10,000 lbs) with Ryan's grapple and it's awesome. Very turn friendly in a straight line and in a dry year such as the one we are having, turning is the issue, too big to zero turn on a mat, 2 mats side by side slide all around and don't work.

Thread 'Mini Tracks'

May 20, 2020

Hey Yall, My Vermeer 725tx. tracks have plenty of tread left, but pretty damn cracked in places. I'm starting to think that I should have a backup set handy for when the time comes. I want tractions over lawn damage, but if turf tracks do not sacrifice traction I don't mind a few extra bucks or lack of longevity.

Where and what to buy? and ball park what am I in for?

Not tons of info, but maybe some more in the mini skid threads too. Sure sounds like a perfect track doesn't exist though.

We ran a Wacker with turf tracks once, and found that it really did not have a lot of traction, and the track surface was not wide enough to reduce lawn damage very much. In fact, it often caused more because the turf tracks are basically two strips of turf tread with a groove in the middle for the drive sprocket to grab.

We run Ditch Witch now, and find the factory tracks work fine. You just have to be sensible in your maneuvers.
