The First SnowPlow of the year

What happens here

The team needs to change the tracks on the ASV RT-75 Posi-Track from 'dirt tracks' (standard all-season tracks) to 'snow tracks' for better traction in winter conditions. First, the skid steer is positioned with its front bucket and rear attachment (presumably a plow or another tool) slightly raised to gain some clearance. Two people then manually pry and pull the heavy rubber track off the drive sprocket and idler wheels, rotating the track as needed. The old track is then set aside and a new 'all-season track' is prepared for installation. They will lift the back of the machine onto boards to gain clearance for the new track installation.

Goal: Replace dirt tracks with snow tracks on the skid steer.

Tools and materials

  • ASV RT-75 Posi-Track ASV — The main machine for track replacement
  • Crowbar / Pry Bar — Leveraging tracks off the wheels
  • Dirt Tracks — The tracks being removed
  • Kubota SVL 75-2 Skid Steer — Assisting in lifting the machine or moving tracks
  • Snow Tracks — The new tracks being installed
  • Wood Boards / Blocks — Supporting the machine for track clearance

that's it yep okay so we're gonna probably start dropping these in my driveway and I'll just try to hook that up myself or keep that you know keep the frame in the back what are you guys gonna do next the tracks oh I'm gonna start so Alex has something to do and then once he gets here he's gonna take over and I'm gonna start getting my plows hooked up Alex's are the easiest to hook up on anybody so then at least we got three plow trucks and then um you know we're just pushers we're gonna Pusher on the ASB well we'll have four plow trucks Mine mine's ready I don't have my back plow but yeah so it's like three quarters of a plow truck all right I'm gonna hop in the Sledge I'll get that going I don't know how this Kubota is gonna do this winter put it on some boards set the cave cat on some more oh you need the cabal or you need to lift the back end up okay Joey do you know why we changed the tracks um are there some winter tracks better traction so the reason we change them is right now they got dirt tracks on you know and I don't care about tearing up my my dirt tracks but the All Season tracks are right there and you can use all season tracks all year round but I like to save them for snow plowing that way we don't use them in the summer tear them up on demolition sites that's right we always got a fresh set of shoes going on a piece of equipment oh it's a hassle and a half it works out
