E87 | How to Adjust Track Tension on John Deere 8RX Tractor

This is a real-shop repair-turned-tutorial: after replacing a disintegrated front track on a 2,000-hour 8RX, the presenter walks through actually tensioning the new tracks using the tractor's SCV hydraulics, showing specific settings (flow at 5.0, constant mode), the hose/coupler hookup, and how to read the green/red tension gauge on the idler assembly. Useful for owners needing hands-on track tensioning steps, not just a concept overview.
