Grew up in a construction family with heavy equipment. Started working with my dad when I was 10 and when he had to use a cable he made sure me and my brothers knew the danger if it broke. He once took a piece of cable about 6 foot long and laid down a watermelon and swung it so hard it cut it in two. He then look at us and said, "That was child's play compared to how fast that cable will come at you if it snaps. Just think of that watermelon has your head" LOL We stayed clear.

2:13 The recommended track tension for a Caterpillar D8H bulldozer is typically between 1.25 to 2 inches of sag on the bottom side of the track when measured at the midpoint between the front idler and the rear idler. Under-tensioning can result in excessive slippage, reduced traction, and increased fuel consumption.
