What happens here
After the track is mostly fitted onto the undercarriage, the individuals continue to work on seating it fully and properly around all the rollers and the drive sprocket. While not shown, a crucial part of track installation involves adjusting the track tensioner, usually via a grease fitting or mechanical adjuster, to achieve the manufacturer's specified tension. The video briefly shows the completed track on the machine, implying successful installation and that any final adjustments have been made.
Goal: Fully seat the new track and prepare for tensioning
