I was checking on progress and it said right track was stuck. I went out to check on it (this is my first mow through) and this is what I saw: [IMG_7236] Anyone seen this before? Since the tracks can be swapped I’m assuming I can fix this and there are track change instructions (although get…

Mine are the same way as randman77’s. It’s still got a small amount of play/slack then driving but the nubs are secure. From the factory it was installed with the tensioning screw as far it it’s capable of going. When I loosened to put the track back on I installed it in the same place. I’v…

@Yarbo-Forum You might want to ensure that the person assembling those tracks at the factory has stopped doing that. They probably used a power tool and just ran it 'til it hit the limit.

@steve mine appear to be ~3/4 down the slot like yours, but the big screw that requires a ratchet seems to bottom out at that point, making it the tightest position.

Yes, I just noticed that, too, when I greased my tracks a few days ago. It seems it hits the bottom, and that’s that, but from the factory they drive it in there with about 500 tons of force or something! May need longer adjusting bolts as the tracks age and stretch (if it’s the bolt shoulder bott…

@Yarbo-Forum It seems you may have skipped over the most important part of the discussion. Can you please comment on the tension required for the tracks?

Thank you for your question. After confirming with our mechanical team, the tensioners should be fully extended. You just need to set them in the fully tightened position. Please let us know if you have any further questions!

I have had my unit’s “down hill” track become derailed when traveling perpendicular to a slope. I have also noted the tension on tracks was set only 3/4 of the fully extended tensioner range. Given feedback, should I fully extend the tesioner? Is the tension recommendation for winter and mower tr…

Sounds like something support should investigate. It should not do this. Is there any slop or play in the bearings or wheels at all?
