Snow tread and cleat system for skidsteer implements

An endless, flexible, track for use on track-driven implements comprising:

• An inner belt and an outer belt with a gap between the two belts;
• drive lugs molded to a drive side of the inner the outer belts to engage a driving mechanism of the implement,
• a terrain-contacting surface, the terrain-contacting surface being comprised of a slick rubber surface, and
• interchangeable traction cleats that span the width of the track to bridge a gap between the inner and outer belts.

A method of making an endless track suited for use on low-friction applications comprising:

• Assembling an endless track constructed of a flexible elastomeric rubber;
• The endless track having an inner surface to engage a drive system of a track-driven implement and an outer, terrain-contacting surface;
• fastening a drive lug through a hole travelling through a cross-section of the endless track;
• the drive lug being fastened to a traction cleat mounted on the outer, terrain-contacting surface of the endless track.
