ABSTRACT:
A tensioner for tracked vehicles includes a track-engaging tensioner wheel adapted to be adjusted by a tensioner element for adjusting the track tension. Automatic adaptation of the track tension to the terrain over which the vehicle travels is achieved by providing a control for actuating the tensioner element in response to the inclination of the vehicle, so that the track tension is reduced for uphill travel and increased for downhill travel.
