[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 133061, member: 7474"] I have not had this issue with my machines but I do know that this happens when the chains stretch and then sag. A lot of time you can hear a muffled “clicking” of the chain, while driving, from it rubbing. There is a way to check if the chains are too loose. You can put the machine on stands and then, by hand, move the tires back and forth. They should only turn a small amount before the chain slack is taken up and they stop. It may be different for different machines but the limit that I remember was about 1-1/2” max. You should try to find the specification for your machine. [/QUOTE]
