A track link for a ground-engaging track comprising: an elongate link body including an inboard link side , an outboard link side , a first link strap having a first track pin bore formed therein and extending between the inboard link side and the outboard link side , a second link strap having a second track pin bore formed therein and extending between the inboard link side and the outboard link side , and a middle section ; the elongate link body further having a lower shoe-mounting surface , and an upper rail surface ; the upper rail surface including a central pad formed on the middle section , a first leg extending from the central pad onto the first link strap , and a second leg extending from the central pad onto the second link strap ; the first leg and the second leg are laterally offset from one another in a transverse direction, the track link being characterised in that the middle section of the elongate link body includes an inboard rail protrusion , projecting from the inboard link side , and the central pad includes an anti-scalloping bump-out formed on the inboard rail protrusion ; wherein the upper rail surface includes an outboard edge and an inboard edge , and defines a latitudinal midline extending between the inboard edge and the outboard edge , and the anti-scalloping bump-out extends fore and aft of the latitudinal midline; the upper rail surface has a bumped-out dimension formed by the central pad within the anti-scalloping bump-out , and a second dimension formed by the central pad outside of the anti-scalloping bump-out , and a ratio of the bumped-out dimension to the second dimension is from 1.2:1 to 1.6:1; a latitudinal first line is defined at a first origin of the anti-scalloping bump-out ; a latitudinal second line is defined at a second origin of the anti-scalloping bump-out ; and an anti-scalloping surface area is defined by the central pad as bounded fore-aft by the latitudinal first line and the latitudinal second line. an elongate link body including an inboard link side , an outboard link side , a first link strap having a first track pin bore formed therein and extending between the inboard link side and the outboard link side , a second link strap having a second track pin bore formed therein and extending between the inboard link side and the outboard link side , and a middle section ; the elongate link body further having a lower shoe-mounting surface , and an upper rail surface ; the upper rail surface including a central pad formed on the middle section , a first leg extending from the central pad onto the first link strap , and a second leg extending from the central pad onto the second link strap ; the first leg and the second leg are laterally offset from one another in a transverse direction, the track link being characterised in that the middle section of the elongate link body includes an inboard rail protrusion , projecting from the inboard link side , and the central pad includes an anti-scalloping bump-out formed on the inboard rail protrusion ; wherein the upper rail surface includes an outboard edge and an inboard edge , and defines a latitudinal midline extending between the inboard edge and the outboard edge , and the anti-scalloping bump-out extends fore and aft of the latitudinal midline; the upper rail surface has a bumped-out dimension formed by the central pad within the anti-scalloping bump-out , and a second dimension formed by the central pad outside of the anti-scalloping bump-out , and a ratio of the bumped-out dimension to the second dimension is from 1.2:1 to 1.6:1; a latitudinal first line is defined at a first origin of the anti-scalloping bump-out ; a latitudinal second line is defined at a second origin of the anti-scalloping bump-out ; and an anti-scalloping surface area is defined by the central pad as bounded fore-aft by the latitudinal first line and the latitudinal second line. <EOS>
