What Grouser Products does

Grouser Products, Inc. is a privately held manufacturer of heavy-duty equipment attachments for agricultural, construction, and snow-removal applications, founded in 1975 and headquartered in West Fargo, North Dakota. The company designs and builds four core product lines: dozer blades for 150-700 HP tractors (AG240, AG240i, AG PRO Classic, AG PRO Silage Special, Adjustable, Heavy-Duty, AIR PRO Snow, and 1300 series), over-the-tire track systems for skid steer loaders (Bar Tracks, FX Soft Tracks, FH Hard Tracks) with replacement parts and rebuild kits, front hitches (AG Pro, AG Pro XWide, FH400, FH-440XR) and 3-point hitch supports, and the V3 Flex Plane self-leveling land leveler. Technical differentiation rests on proprietary engineering including the vertical paralift design, patented open side plate technology, run-loose track concept, induction-hardened wear surfaces, and the Accu-Tach mounting system; the company holds industry-first status on multiple track technologies and is the only manufacturer approved by all major skid steer OEMs.
