Like the title says, how often are you greasing the tracks…honestly. I’m curious what people are actually doing. Do you wait until you remember, do you schedule a reminder, do you wait unit you hear clicking, do you wait until you happen to notice they’re dry. I noticed my winter tracks seemed re…

They recommend every 2 weeks with regular use. I’ll be honest and say that I only do it once every few months. I know people who don’t do it at all. I think it depends on your environment really. I know @rcguymike probably should grease more frequently based on the wear he posted. TBH, I’ve nev…

We recommend greasing the tracks every two weeks.

No problem in the summer, but how are people greasing the tracks in the winter?

This goes back to the request regarding having maintenance notifications based on usage. What if I don’t get snow or its dry and I don’t mow for two weeks. Why would I need to grease in that case?

You have to ideally let it thaw in the garage and then apply the grease. Otherwise, clean out the tracks of snow and ice really well and then apply. I use a grease gun that has a hose and an open ended nozzle and just squirt some grease down the bottom center of the track, move the machine forward…

I’m super curious to see what the interior of my winter tracks look like when I swap them out for the summer tracks. What should I expect in terms of any signs of wear?

Hi there, thanks for bringing this up. The biweekly greasing recommendation is based on a regular usage scenario. If the machine hasn’t been used for a period of time—for example, if there’s no snow or mowing activity for a couple of weeks—the maintenance needs may naturally vary. Regarding your su…

I’ve been using a flux brush and the tub of silicone grease, having a grease gun and either a zerk that comes out by the rear wheel or a needle tip with a way to slowly jog Yarbo forward would be a lot easier. Good upgrade project for some Yarbo interns to do:grin:

Yes I have suggested zerk fittings and an auto luber many times.
