Lubricated tracks with split master links for 450B

[np205]

-
Anyone had experience or issues with lubricated track chains?

Replacing worn undercarriage components on my 450B.
Bought a set of lubricated chains.

They have the split master links which seems like a good idea vs driving the master link pin in/out.

Seen this type chains on the newer undercarriages.
Deere and Cat state lubricated chains are quieter and will live longer.

According to Deere, Cat, and experienced dozer operators, backing up wears undercarriage about 3x more than going forward.

I'm thinking about the same thing myself, since I just got a 450C. I'd also be interested in hearing what you are replacing beyond sprockets, chains and pads.

Sealed track wasn't ;stock but will fit and conector link is the only way to connect SALT tracks .Make shure of the right number of links as you don.t want to be pressing out sealed links and trying to reconect the conector links .They are worth the extra bucks if you are putting big hours on them .They are quieter as they dont squack as much but overall they turn easyer so some fuel saveings for most of the tracks life when they get old they get snakey like the dry pinned tracks but if looked after will last one hell of a lot longer .If the price is right go for it but count links .Digitup.

Thank you for reply.

Link count of 37 is same as old chains. (including split link)
Bottom rollers next item on list, then sprockets, tensioners, etc.
