Kubota kx36-3 track issue

[rburnham11]

Hi all.
I have an issue with my Kubota kx36-3. It's a very beaten up machine but mostly works and functional. Issue is one of the tracks doesn't seem to have much power, it does turn but slightest resistance and it binds up. The other track seems to work fine.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

firstly - welcome.
it's a bit of a case of where do you start!
has this suddenly occurred or has it been getting progressively a problem/worse, slowly?
with the machine raised off the ground with the blade and the boom, does it turn more freely? same speed as t'other?
any oil leaks visible?
when was the transmission oil changed last ?
does it have any trans oil in the reductions?
assume it is the same in both directions?
any horrible noises from the offending drive?
does the front idler and rollers turn ok?

as much detail as possible helps us all 'wrap our heads round it'
and in general, pix are always well received, of members' gear and a bit of a low down on what you do ?
is this an earner / gardener / hobby / self build machine?
how much use / abuse does it get
