Our customers have been extremely pleased with the added traction ice studs provide for equipment with rubber tracks. Dave was having trouble maneuvering his skid steer on hard packed snow and ice. Here is what Dave had to say about using tire studs in his rubber tracks:

“Unbelievable. It’s like night and day…like having new tracks on my machine. I am in awe of the difference. Before I had to slow my machine or crawl. Now I can go full speed!”
