Having done this hundreds of times, I can do it much faster. Turn the house sideways and lift the track. After releasing the grease valve place a crowbar in the links of the track, and slowly rotate the track so that the crowbar passes over the idler, this will expel the grease. Next place the crowbar in the links of the track, and slowly rotate the track while prying the track back into position. When the track is back on the idler, close the grease valve, and re-fill the grease cylinder. Badda Bing, Badda Boom.

If you let the machine down closer to the ground you would have more slack up front instead of hanging down. Looks like a bunch of greenhorns.

I think you need to show the guy hooking the chain a video on how to hook a chain, took longer to do that then put the track back on

[@Bruzercustomcycles]

a 5 min job made to look hard guys ..never chain a track use your own boom and bucket to push the track on ..

[@pingpong9656]

I have seen the long prybar method, but I have not seen the boom and bucket method - please explain a bit more, so I can picture it better. Sound useful!

[@charleshewitt3026]

Do it myself all the time much faster and easier

[@genehensley767]

Look at how much slack you have in that track at the end of the video when you're greasing it up compared to when you're pulling on that thing with the boom. Just lift all of the slack with a spud bar and two people could have pulled that track back on before your boy even got the chain hooked up.
