Abstract
The tracks of the present invention have drive faces which are tapered surfaces, such as a convex tapered surface which extends laterally over the drive surface of the lugs. The utilization of lugs having tapered drive faces improves the performance and durability of the track. The tracks having the drive face design of this invention also allow for more power to be delivered without damaging the track or causing excessive wear.
