How to Put A Track Back on a CTL Skidsteer in the Field - GEHL RT210

I slipped a track for the first time in nearly 10 years of ownership of my Gehl RT210. It happened when working on the shoulder of my driveway. I have discovered that the Gehl undercarriage doesn't like breaker rocks used for the sub grade on roads. I plan to make another video on that soon, but in this one I show how I was able to get the track back on even while the machine was perched precariously on a slope. While I tried to do it all with hand tools, I had to resort to using my wheel excavator because the machine kept sliding off the jacks and I couldn't get it high enough off the ground to slide the track under easily. On a flat solid surface, the Gehl system is easy to use to change, remove, or reinstall a track. Enjoy!
Thanks for watching!

I just got a 2017 Gehl RT 210 gen 3 w/460 hrs from Equipment Place in PA. Totally a newbie. This was helpful information!

Good video. I have an RT250 and am pretty happy with it. I appreciate you posting videos about the machine and sharing your experience

[@Yeseluvryanlotz]

Great, thank you.

RT105 same thing

[@dougcompton6207]

Good video but if you use cribbing you can pick up the machine with the buck and wood blocks

[@driftlessinwi]

Agreed, but in this spot every time I used bucket to lift, I slid down the hill more. It was a much steeper slope than it appears in the video. It definitely wasn't ideal, but I got the track back on 😀

[@ryanrockwell916]

Does your machine have ideal tracks?

[@driftlessinwi]

Yes it does, by Ideal tracks I am assuming you mean auto tensioning. Thanks!

[@mikeadams2339]

How many ton bottle jack will lift the rear?

[@driftlessinwi]

I'm sure a 5 ton would do it, but I wouldn't recommend it. I would use at least a 10 ton personally (I used 20 ton jacks in video). Thanks for the question!

[@waynewhite310]

If you had used the bucket to push down which would have lifted the machine more you could have slipped it right on..too much contact with the ground on the bottom

[@driftlessinwi]

Trust me I tried. I was on a side slope so I kept sliding down farther when I used the bucket. On sturdy, flat, level ground this would be pretty easy, but of course the track never comes off in an easy spot :)

Step one: buy a second machine 😂

Yeah with that 80 grand we all have laying around begging to be spent. 🤣
