Tracks on a blade

[Exmayor]

At what point do you say enough is enough this was hired again off a national "Ruttles" and it was not on its last legs it was past that stage, to let it get to this point in my eyes is beyond pathetic

jesus ..... racing slicks too

 

[Mogman]

But while it’s out on hire it’s making money new tracks or shagged ones
Not that I would put a machine out like that

For a full hit your talking north of 18 grand plus vat and that's just for standard chains, if you go down the system one route that's of 30 grand plus vat for the full hit. Track pads have a lot to do with how undercarriages look on dozers some jobs they track pads would be perfect for the job such as final trim or doing type 1.

As Mark says, would be Ideal for trimming, a 6M is a trimming tractor too. The bent pad under the center is a very good example of why you don't run LGP tractors on rough hardcore shite.

Sprocket segments look good. Looks like it either wants a link out or the idler greased up

I would say those grousers are still around 40% if you looked up the wear information from caterpillar.

 

[Mark]

Track pads on this one are 64% worn, it got new chains and carrier rollers fitted around May time.

I get what you are saying Rory/Mark about trimming type 1 not enough Grouser to lift the type 1, the Sprockets were new but the chains were actually worn through and she kept trying to jump a tooth, the idlers were almost out the frame as well
