How many bars on the 137 track for studding

[snowbeast]

Is 53 correct,or less,or more lol.

It should be 48 track lugs on the 137" track.

137 length divided by 2.86 pitch equals 47.9 which would be how many track lugs.

ok thanks brother,that give me an idea what I may need for studs.

Same pattern you use for the old school 121 2.52 tracks. Same amount of lugs.

wasent the old 121 44 bars.

Nope. 121/2.52 is 48. Same as 137/2.86.

Looks like what I plan on doing for this new yammie 137 4 per row on two sets of double backers in middle only 192 total 1.400 height should be ok with the way it comes,i don't think we will need any more tunnel protectors,other than what they give us,do you?

dont do doubles...drivers dont like that...and it comes with nothing (at least cat doesnt) and you have to buy the protector kit....those are 1.640's

I've always done doubles and never had driver issues.

 

[kylechargerrt]

On my Ape I did double and singles 144 total worked pretty good on that setup

 

[snowbeast]

My 06 ape gt had 144 all doubles never had any break or fall out or pull outs and drivers were all good,i don't stud outside band any more.

studding up the middle equals an unbalanced track with a greater propensity for ballooning and therefore a greater propensity for ratcheting...
double studs deflect less but because they are less flexible as a group equals more resistance ...
also..an apex with 150hp and ha much better drivers than the cat procross with what 240? gets... but..

do what you wish...studding across the band (properly equals higher mph and is more efficient) like a balanced tire!

the greatest traction comes along the rail...period..

and Ive never lost a stud and always have studded in the outside band...if its done right ..neither will you!

Are these single ply tracks,if so than we need wide bottom studs and largest backer plates if round are used max has them 1 3/8 dia which is preety good.
