3.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
3.1 Technical Description
The Camso CTS allows machines to move on muddy and soft soils which have limited carrying
capacity. The wide supporting surface of the track system also reduces soil compaction.
The Camso CTS can be mounted on the tractor with no modifications to the tractor, ensuring
quick and easy changes from tracks to wheels and vice versa.
The Camso CTS application on tractors does not alter the distribution of the weight on the tractor
axles so there is little to no difference in driving a tractor with CTS installed or wheels installed.
The Camso track systems have been designed to minimize the stresses on the tractor when on
firm soil, without compromising the flotation characteristics in the worst working conditions.
The 30/36D23MC and 30/36D22MC models feature a suspension system to improve driver
comfort in terms of shock and vibration reduction and improved roading and field ride.
Besides the above listed characteristics, the Camso rubber track system introduces other
advantages.
xReduced power absorption on soft soils
xAlmost no possibility of rubber track de-tracking from the undercarriage
xAdequate roading speed
xLimited damages on the soil even during end of field maneuvers
xReduced risk of self-sinking in the mud in case of slipping
xGreat self-cleaning capacity of the rubber track and consequently good traction in all
working conditions
