  2. The machine can then be safely raised and will be more stable during track removal and installation
  3. A hard surface also makes it easier to slide the track out from under the machine
  4. Use a forklift if available
  5. Disconnect any implements from the hitch or drawbar
  6. Never work on a tractor with an implement attached

Tools required

  • Forklift (if available)
