J&M Track Systems’ Advantages
Less Compaction
All of J&M's track offerings provide these great benefits
No Maintenance, No Problem
Virtually maintenance free during day-to-day operations thanks to:
V4 Track Systems
V4 MT (36"×119") or V4 (36"×139")
J&M’s V4 track design features optimized geometry that utilizes a larger footprint for minimal compaction. Uniform spacing of the bogie wheels also helps reduce compaction. The improved spring tensioner requires less maintenance and creates a more uniform footprint that reduces rolling resistance. Unlike bronze bushings that require periodic greasing throughout the harvest season, V4 tracks utilize composite sleeve bushings. A single greasing before harvest can last the entire season and maximize the life and performance of the track.
1Swivel Hitch Alignment
The convenient alignment mechanism uses two bolts for adjustment and is accessible from each side of the cart. Two steel keepers prevents loosening during operation.
2Upper Tensioning Roller
The upper tensioning roller keeps tension on the belt, limiting unsightly belt flop.
3Tensioner
V4 tracks feature a maintenance-free "Set it and forget it" spring tensioner, which eliminates the need for adjustment once set.
