STUCK IN THE MUD! Tracks vs tires in the mud hole!
What happens here
Align the track chain ends and insert the connecting pins. Secure the pins by tightening the bolts on each side with a wrench, then use an impact wrench for final tightening. After connecting the main track ends, use a ratchet strap to pull any loose sections of the track towards the tire. This helps to reduce slack and prepare the track for final tensioning. Tighten additional bolts on various track components to ensure a secure fit around the tires.
Goal: Fasten track sections around the skid steer tires.
