Check and Adjust Track Tension on Kubota SCL1000

To check the track tension you will need a flat bar or a level and a tape measure. The proper sag in the track should measure 1/4” from the top of the track to the bottom of the flat bar or level.

Checking the Track Tension on the SCL1000

  1. Lay a flat bar or a level on the track
  2. Measure the sag in the middle of the track with a tape measure
  3. If the sag is more than 1/4” then the track needs to be adjusted tighter.
  4. If the sag is less than 1/4” then the track needs to be adjusted looser.
