Cat Challenger 27.5" 5500 Series General Ag Track

Camso 5500 Series (Cast Slotted Driver)

Camso 5500 series tracks were originally created for use with cast slotted drivewheels (CSD’s), and have filled that role successfully for many years. However, analysis has shown that worn CSD’s will accelerate damage to the inside of a track due to higher point loading from uneven sprocket tooth wear. This internal damage can reduce track life overall as a result.

Modification of the track construction has been shown to extend the life of Camso 5500 CSD tracks, especially with worn cast slotted drivewheels.

The Camso 5500 CSD Series tracks are the only tracks recommended for use with tractors equipped with cast slotted drivewheels.

To achieve maximum life from the Camso 5500 CSD Series tracks, Cast Slotted Drivers should be replaced if worn and the cast slotted drivewheel scrapers must be maintained and adjusted regularly. Please follow instructions in the OMM for proper adjustment procedures.

SPECIAL NOTE: For maximum track life, Camso recommends upgrading to 1R1184 and 1R1185 chevron style rubber drivewheels (inboard brakes) or 1R1247 and 1R1248 (older outboard brake machines) to replace the older worn cast slotted drivewheels. The listed rubber drivewheel designs use the latest compounds to provide the tractive benefits of the cast slotted drivewheels in nearly all farming applications, while significantly reducing track inner wear and tear caused by CSD’s.
