Appreciation post: My dozer's track tension cost me a half day

Seen a few guys lately not bothering with morning tension checks. My left track got so loose it threw a shoe right before lunch. Who has time for that, really?

After throwing a shoe like that, I started using a crowbar for quick midday adjustments.

Last Tuesday my old wrench finally gave out, so I upgraded to a mini pry bar.

Seriously, checking every single morning is overkill on newer machines. My 2020 dozer holds tension for a full week easy, and a quick visual look tells me everything. You only lose half a day if you ignore the obvious signs it gives you first.
