Installing & testing UTV tracks

What happens here

Utilize the built-in level guide on each track to adjust the track tension and pitch. The goal is to set the tracks so that the front portion is slightly pitched upward when the UTV is on flat ground. This 'nose-up' adjustment improves steering and handling on tracks. Use a wrench to turn the adjustment rod until the level guide indicates the desired pitch.

Goal: Optimize track alignment for performance
