A track tensioning system for adjusting tension in a vehicle track, comprising a track tensioner comprising a hydraulic cylinder and a piston assembly slidably moveable within the cylinder and dividing the cylinder into a first and second chamber each in selective fluid communication with a pressurised hydraulic fluid source and reservoir, such that supply or withdrawal of hydraulic fluid to or from the chambers causes the piston assembly to move within the cylinder in either extension, increasing track tension, or retraction, decreasing track tension, further comprising a locking system capable of mechanically locking the position of the piston assembly with respect to the hydraulic cylinder, wherein the locking system is switchable between an engaged mode, where it prevents movement of the piston, thereby maintaining tension in the vehicle track, and a disengaged mode, where it allows movement of the piston, thereby allowing tension in the vehicle track to be adjusted.
