Testing a TracK changing tool on the cat skid steer

What happens here

Once the new snow tracks are installed and tensioned, the backhoe is slowly lowered from the supporting wooden blocks using its own hydraulics and the assisting larger backhoe. After being fully on the ground, a final check is made on the track tension. The presenter briefly mentions the benefits of snow tracks versus dirt tracks in winter conditions, explaining that dirt tracks lack grip on snow and ice and can be rougher, while snow tracks provide better traction and a smoother ride. He also points out the specialized design of the ASV backhoe tracks, which have extra grooves for enhanced stability compared to other brands.

Goal: The backhoe is carefully lowered from the blocks, and the track tension is checked to ensure proper installation.

it's the two nose pickers there you go gets both sides about the same and if they're not right when he lets it down it's better to have it too loose when you let it down than too tight to be very serious because if you're too tight when you let it down you can blow this grease past the seals and you can have issues if you're too loose when you let it down you can just all right bingo bango we're done and the cat has new shoes so it's a little looser we were all pretty uh apprehensive about how well that tool was gonna work and let me tell you what we got those done in about half the time super simple very ingenious idea yeah i think worked really well like i said it probably took about half the time to swap these tracks out all right guys and that's our video for today i want to thank you for going along for the ride we got a lot of cool stuff coming down the pipeline um i don't know where you're watching this in order but we do have the uh the brand new asv that max series cab working in wet heavy clay and it wasn't a good day it was just one of those just let's just say it didn't go like just i anyway we got a full night of snow plowing um where we were expecting this snowstorm and we got didn't that didn't come to fruition but then we went right back to work out on our job sites and then out of nowhere another snowstorm came and then we're like scrambling at the last anyway that one's a good one and that's what we got for you today god bless go get him you guys hopefully we'll see on another one catch you later
