A premium boron steel forged compact heavy-duty wheel tracks chain with ribbed surface that delivers enlarged ground contact and superior obstacle crossing performance across rugged forest terrain — built for skidders, feller bunchers and heavy off-road forestry machinery that need track-style heavy-load traction and all-terrain passability, not just basic chain-type anti-slip grip.
The MT86 forestry track chain pairs quality boron steel forging with a compact heavy-duty build and ribbed surface design, giving the unit increased ground contact area and superior obstacle passability in addition to reliable traction on rugged forest terrain. Available in tire sizes from 600/50-22.5 up to 780/50-28.5 with 29–38 links per set, it's built for skidders, forestry machinery and heavy off-road equipment that need durable track-style traction and all-terrain obstacle crossing performance, not just basic smooth-ground anti-slip function.
It shares its heavy-duty forestry chain base with standard skidder chains, but adds a ribbed track structure and premium boron steel toughness for enhanced load capacity and terrain adaptability — see the specification table below to confirm which size fits your machine.
Forged from premium boron steel, the MT86 features a compact heavy-duty build with excellent structural strength, capable of withstanding heavy loads and frequent impacts in harsh off-road forestry operations.
The track surface is designed with reinforced rib structure, which effectively enlarges ground contact area, significantly improves ground adhesion and driving stability, and optimizes passability on complex terrain such as muddy and soft ground.
Supported by its track-type structure and high-strength material, it delivers superior obstacle crossing capability, ensuring forestry machinery travels smoothly on complex forest roads with obstacles and keeps operations running without disruption.
It fits 11 forestry tire specifications ranging from 600/50-22.5 to 780/50-28.5, with 29 to 38 transition plates configured per half pair accordingly, forming a complete specification gradient to adapt to different models of forestry work equipment.
Not every forestry skidding job needs standard mesh-type or double-ring reinforced skidder chains. Where a machine operates on highly uneven terrain with frequent obstacles — muddy soft ground, rocky forest paths, heavy log hauling routes — a wheel tracks chain does the job with better ground contact, superior obstacle passability and more even load distribution than a regular chain-type skidder chain. The MT86 is built for exactly that: dependable, heavy-duty track-style traction for obstacle-heavy forestry work.
Which MT86 model fits your job? If you run smaller forestry tires like 600/50-22.5, 710/45-22.5 and 600/50-24.5, the 29–31 transition plates per half pair model delivers solid track grip for light to medium skidding work.
If you need medium capacity for tires from 710/40-24.5 up to 800/40-26.5, the 30–34 transition plates per half pair models offer balanced ground contact area and load capacity for standard forestry machinery.
If you have large heavy-duty tires like 750/55-26.5, 710/55-28.5 and 780/50-28.5, the 36–38 transition plates per half pair models provide robust build for the heaviest obstacle-crossing forestry workloads.
All models feature quality boron steel forging, compact heavy-duty construction and ribbed surface design to enlarge ground contact area and ensure smooth travel over obstacles.

If your operation mainly runs on maintained forest roads with moderate loads, a standard mesh skidder chain is the simpler, more cost-effective choice.
Choose from 11 tire specifications from 600/50-22.5 to 780/50-28.5 based on your exact tire dimensions, plus proper load safety margin.
Confirm the number of transition plates (29–38 strips per half pair) matches your tire size and load requirements before ordering.
Select premium boron steel forged construction with ribbed surface design to match your obstacle density and heavy-duty forestry working conditions.

From what working scenarios can the MT86 wheel tracks chain work?
It delivers heavy-duty track-style traction for various forestry operations — log skidding, timber hauling, felling work and obstacle-rich forest routes, when fitted to skidders, feller bunchers and heavy off-road forestry machinery.
What tire sizes and specifications does it come in?
The MT86 series covers 11 forestry tire specifications from 600/50-22.5 up to 780/50-28.5, with 29 to 38 transition plates configured per half pair to match different tire dimensions.
How does the ribbed surface design improve traction performance?
It features reinforced ribs on the track surface, which increases ground contact area, significantly improves ground adhesion and driving stability, and greatly optimizes grip on low-traction terrain such as muddy and soft ground.
What material ensures durability in harsh off-road forest conditions?
It is forged from premium boron steel, which withstands frequent impacts and abrasion from gravel, tree roots and forest obstacles, and delivers excellent fracture resistance for long service life under heavy-duty working conditions.
How does it perform on terrain with frequent obstacles?
It adopts an integrated track-type structure, which provides superior obstacle crossing capability. It ensures forestry machinery travels smoothly on complex forest roads with obstacles and keeps operations running without interruption from terrain barriers.
