Claim 18:
19. A method for limiting the vibrations of a work machine comprising:
rotating a drive wheel engaged with a drivable track, wherein the drivable track is disposed at a tension contributing to vibrations of the work machine;
oscillating a secondary weight relative to the drive wheel to limit the vibrations of the work machine;
wherein oscillating a secondary weight relative to the drive wheel includes deforming at least a portion of a deformable spacer coupled to the drive wheel and the secondary weight; and
wherein deforming at least a portion of a deformable spacer coupled to the drive wheel and the secondary weight includes adjusting the viscosity of a fluid included in the deformable spacer based on the tension of the drivable track.
