My noob question would be how hard is it to re-install a track in the field, once it has slid off off the machine
Thank you! I have demo set up on the land next week. Spendy at $24k, but that half of a Ventrac with a few attachments.Several videos from lawn maintenance professionals posted and they claim contrary to what many think tracks don't tear up grass. Looks like they can mow slopes even when wet. Try that with a wheeled zero turn.

At a 15 grand starting price (tops out at 22 grand, it's not a cheap date by a long shot and it will tear the grass up turning, fact of life or should I say mowing.I can see it successful. There is a niche market for lower cost lawnmowers that can handle slopes well. Bet you can put this together cheaper than a Ventrac.
...and have a deep, deep wallet too. I'll pass. Present day economy is tanking. Not about to buy a lawnmower that costs that much. Don't even have a diesel option, just crummy gas motors.I didn't end up buying one because the price was higher than I could justify for my flat, finished lawn. But they are definitely worth a look if you have side slopes or low, wet areas that you need to mow on a regular basis.

If you detracked that machine, its track tension is waaaay to loose so they shouldn't be coming off. I have something over 3000 hours on rubber tracked machines and only de-tracked one when a idler had fallen off from a bearing failure. So in general they don't come off. Nonetheless, getting a track back on is a pain in the &!@*&.My noob question would be how hard is it to re-install a track in the field, once it has slid off off the machine
