The new Argos should auto adjust. Every now and then you should hear a strong click as the adjuster takes up slack by moving to the next position. Debris can get into the mechanism, so occasionally inspect the internals for twigs or other debris. You can take a flat tipped screw driver to push the mechanism down for inspection, if you push it down and it loosens, just grab the thing and pull it up to take out the slack. The Argo adjusters are first rate so should take very little effort on your part.
The front chains will not have an adjuster, and are placed on tight. When they loosen up, you have two options: 1) replace the chains. 2) Rig up a floating adjuster, I use a floating one on the front and it's a Snapidle brand, and those require manual adjustment.
Do you have a part number for the Snapidle? I own a frontier and noticed today that the tensioners self adjusted over the weekend and see that the front chains are getting slack.
Thanks

One more question, how many hours can one expect to get out of a set of front chains, I have Adaire tracks and wondering if the tracks will stretch the chains sooner on the machine than off.
Thx
