South Central Illinois | Hey Ron, shop dry as in the stuff you put on concrete to soak up oil. We have some long road hauls 35-40 miles, that is what kills tracks, bogies, and their components. The tracks become too clean (dirt in the field is their lubricant) which causes the rubber track to heat up and begin to adhere to the bogies surface. If you watch the engines power meter it will rise 10-12% as they get hot. As soon as this happens we hop out and put a cup of shop dry on the cross beam so it rattles down in the rubber. This may not be necessary but we have talked to several CIH reps who all reccommend. Furthermore we never have issues with our quads, a bit more labor? Yes, but for an unprecedented ride, 0 slip, low ground pressure and all the power you could want I'm willing to make the sacrifice. However I'm not color blind and 3 colors make up out machineshed. | |
