About Us

Gilbert & Riplo Company

Gilbert and Riplo Company was established back in 1972. Since then, our quality engineered tracks, best known as GripTrac, have been sold to customers throughout the United States and various countries around the world.

GripTrac can replace tires on most combines, tractors, choppers or other self-propelled equipment on the market with little or NO modifications. Our products make harvesting in wet, muddy fields a lot easier.

GripTrac is also manufactured for salt and tomato harvesters. Furthermore, it is adaptable to the logging and sod industries. If you have a special need our company will custom design and fabricate on spec for any machine that requires flotation and/or traction.

GripTrac can be put on in 90 minutes and taken off in 30. Once you put them on you will notice that your machine is running smoother and easier. It also reduces fuel use by 20% because they offer less rolling resistance in mud.

GripTrac does not tear up fields. Its 36" width minimizes compaction. Its 47 square feet of bearing surface on the ground guarantees that you will stay on top of most soils.

GripTrac frame will last indefinitely, we have several set with over 6,000 hours on them. When internal components parts wear out, Gilbert & Riplo mechanics will go through your track and replace and rebuilt only what is necessary. Parts that you might need for your GripTrac are always in stock for immediate pick-up and delivery.

We feel strongly that you will be satisfied with the overall performance of GripTrac.
