Can't figure this out


After 4500kms on my mountain max the stock drivers were wore enough that no matter how tight I ran the track, it would ratchet when it was pulling hard. Anti-ratchet drivers took care of that.
 
RACHETING. Tightened it up like you guys said...tighter than I ever ran the last track. I think that this Hacksaw with 192 picks vs the stock with 144 dug in alot better. Maybe thats why the other didn't rachet. It works fine now & have the scat tracks in my yard to prove it. Neighbors think I'm a dumbshit...they're right. You can obviously tell by my recents threads I've never done this much work to a sled before. Sorry for thr dumb questions. Thanks for everyones help.
 
The more traction on the track (e.g. studs) the higher the probability of slippage (ratheting) on the drive wheels (especially on grass where it will hook up pretty well).

Glad you're good to go!!
 
Now, when you get it out on the snow, you might want to start backing it off a turn at a time until it gives you one or two ratchets. Then go up a half a turn and call it good. I would test it in powder, believe it or not, it will put more load on the track than a groomed trail. No reason to run it tighter than necessary, just steals ponies. Like was stated above, its getting TONS of traction in the yard.
