really kicks it up into high gear all right so one of you guys told me to check out manitou because they've got self-adjusting tracks that always stay tight and harry's gonna actually show me what this looks like so what are they right now loose hairy oh i've got them in the service position so the tracks are loose yep standard standard position for operations in the system so after about 45 minutes to an hour the tracks will become slack yeah so that your tracks are not always constantly under tension when you're not using the machine and stretching them out over time this leads to greater track light also there's no chance for operator error in reachable tracks where you could over tension them under tension as long as the engine's running it's hydraulically tensioned they're running at the proper tension no matter how loose or tight or stretched your tracks are they'll always be running at the top you go into service mode you go into the service mode you come back here you just flip that switch so when you want to switch them out you hit a button you loosen them up okay how many you guys let me know if you guys want to see me actually put one of these machines to the test i was actually thinking about taking one up and giving it a go i mean look at this track system that's a beefy though those are beefy tracks that's a 15 and a half inch wide snow track um yeah this thing weighs 8 000 pounds my loader what is my loader
