Bill Schwab is an unknown quantity at this point
See now you should get 2000 hours on the tracks, and 5000 hours on the boogies, planetary drives, and track rollers.

Cost break down at Caterpillar prices are Tracks at $2000 a side, and, these can be flip flopped so you can gain more hours from them, and $1,000.00 on the bogies and drive rollers. How do you tension yours? You should use a 2x4, set on top of the drive and front rollers. Then place a weight in the center of the track. There should be no more than 1/4", down to zero, but 1/4" is ideal.
