pewag group3 user tips for forestry tracks
Maximise performance with these essential tips for optimizing forestry tracks.
Our pewag forestry tracks are very robust and a reliable companion in the forest. There are a few tips and tricks on how to significantly increase the performance and durability of the forestry tracks.
Our recommendations:
1. Use the maximum tire pressure specified by the tire manufacturer
Otherwise, the forestry tracks could slip off the machine or tire damage could occur. If the tire pressure is too low, the tire sidewall bulges outwards and can be damaged by the track. Therefore, it is essential to use the maximum tire pressure when using forestry tracks to prevent tire side damage.
2. Constantly check and adjust the tension of the forestry tracks
Correct tension of the tracks affects their performance. If it is too tight, the tire can slip in the track and the machine has less traction. If the forestry tracks are too loose, they can slide off the tire during work. For this reason: check and adjust the tension regularly!
3. Observe welding instructions when repairing or retrofitting stubs
If stubs are retrofitted or re-welded, it is particularly important to follow the pewag welding instructions. If the welding process is carried out incorrectly, the hardness surface of the cross member is impaired, and this can lead to cracks or fractures under extreme conditions. In other words, to achieve maximum performance, weld the stubs correctly according to the welding instructions!

pewag pelagus Is Proud Partner Of The Eco-friendly Underwater Project “Nemo’s Garden”
Nemo’s Garden is an underwater cultivation designed by Sergio Gamberini along and Ocean Reef Group. The project was born to face main global issues, such as: climate change, pollution, malnourishment, and hunger. The underwater-garden is in Noli, Italy, and it consists in an underwater installation of several vinyl-plastic biospheres containing various kinds of herbs, vegetables and flowers that are being tested and observed for this alternative and sustainable way of gardening.
This concept of underwater agriculture explores the sea, and the possibilities it offers. Nemo’s Garden has been designed to be:
self-sustainable – using mainly renewable energy from natural resources such as the sun and having the ability of reutilizing the freshwater it produces
eco-friendly – not harming the surrounding environment and its natural marine ecosystem that is heterogeneous, has an oligotrophic nature, a high diversity in marine species.
