Under a load (riding through bogs, uneven & muddy terrain), my 6x6 sounds like the chain is slipping or the sprocket is breaking teeth. It 'pops' and sounds terrible. Earlier this summer, my buddy told me to tighten the chains so I did and they looked good. When I checked the chains in the field after the popping and slipping sound began (on the most level ground I could find) the chains seemed super tight. Do I simply need to just loosen the chains? Also, I thought slipping was associated with loose chains, not tight chains. Any other ideas to check? In May I had the machine serviced and had the front chain replaced, but not the sprocket. (It's an '05 Sportsman 500 6x6.)
