Continuously tracked vehicles such as tippers and bulldozers endure stresses and strains and it is desirable to reduce these stresses to extend their efficiency and life. A continuous track system is provided, comprising: a support structure supporting at least one jockey wheel and at least two tensioner wheels for supporting a track; two tensioners, one end of each tensioner being pivotably connected to the support structure, the two tensioner wheels being rotatably connected to an opposite end, for inducing tension in the track, wherein an axle of each tensioner wheel is pivotably connected by a link member to an axle of an adjacent jockey wheel; a controller for controlling the tensioners, wherein the controller maintains tension in the track by controlling the tensioners; a drive sprocket for rotation of the track; and a slew ring for attaching the support structure to a chassis of the vehicle.
