curious about track loader

I'm no where near an expert, but I'm told that they like steel tracks better when these go to the woods. They equip them with front mounted shredders for brush clearing work.

Just what I've been told, could be totally wrong.
BP.

How does one adjust the chain tension on that rig?

[quote="Riverina d4"].Mostly only see the rubber tracks fitted around here.I wonder what the measurements of those rails are.
100 plus hp the top end of the range I'm told,do they get the power to the ground better then the rubber track?[/quote]

The steel track machines are used in mulching applications. Unless you are doing that type of work they are probably overkill. You also lose the 2spd option with the steel tracks.

ok,that would be a deal breaker loosing the two speed option so thanks for the input.What sort of hours do they get out of steel tracks?.At 100hp I assume they would spin the track easy enough!

Makes sense - I couldn't see any movable parts from that photo angle.
