I used my dozer too push snow after the last snowstorm. It does have the grousers w/center holes too prevent excess stress from snow buildup in the track.
At first I noticed the top rollers weren't turning continuously, but would only partially turn with each passing link.
Tonight I pulled the dozer out to push banks back, and noticed the top rollers were not turning at all. They were frozen with ice and snow.
I tried to check the bottom rollers to see if they're still free and turning, but couldn't get a clear view.
I'm hoping the fact there's much more weight on the bottom rollers would cause them to continue turning, but am not sure.:beatsme I don't want to wear flat spots in the rollers.
Should I be checking the bottom rollers before every use during the winter, or can I assume they're still turning due to the higher weight put on them?
It's kind of a pain trying to check the bottom rollers.
Thanks!!
