How do you monitor and manage vibration levels on crushers

I’ve been observing them all day, feeling that vibration through the floor, and I’m curious if it’s typical or a cause for concern.
What strategies do you use to keep vibration in check without relying on guesswork?
I’d appreciate any tips, tools, or routines you have for staying on top of it.
 
After a long day I noticed my coffee nearly sloshing on the console.
Now my first steps are to check the engine mounts, driveline angles, and tire balance.
I’ve found that a simple vibration app and a quick walk-around can usually identify the real issue before it becomes a costly fix.
 
After weeks of that annoying buzz I decided to take notes.
Now I track when it happens what gear I'm in and the RPM.
A quick check of the bolts, some grease, and an alignment test usually settle things down.
I’ve discovered that most mystery vibrations are simply due to loose or worn-out parts.
 
Mine started buzzing through the floor while transporting and wouldn't let up. I grabbed a stethoscope to check the bearings and observed the RPM compared to the vibration. If it changes with speed, I focus on the driveline; if it shifts with load, I turn to the mounts and hydraulics. Recognizing these patterns saves me a lot of time.
