    Tire pressure with plastic tracks

    Im running 3lbs in the tires while I have plastic tracks on. I noticed twice that one side when turning, the track almost came off at the middle. The tracks fit loosely on the tires at the middle wheels. I even heard the tracks slap the body. I have the rawhide 21x 11x8s on there. How much can I inflate them? I'd like to reduce the looseness Im not running the hustler hard. Just an easy putt and learning how to operate it.

    You probably dont want any more than an inch or two sag under the center tire while the machine is lifted off the ground...you could probably put as much as 6-8 psi if it helps you get the right track tension.

    Have fun!

    I hadnt lifted the hustler up to check the sag as of yet. I did inflate the tires to 8Lbs. Works much better. When I do get around to checking the sag. What is it that I have to do if it's more than 2 inches? get larger tires? Remove a section?
