I plan on mounting a HT 49 to a Kulana Moon Dog and I've heard about the nightmare stories involving the chain tensioner. I like the spring loaded idea

and then it dawned on me. The Moon Dog has a derailleur. If the purpose of the tensioner is to keep the MB chain taut and even with the bicycle chain, is the tensioner really needed?
I should say this is my first post and I've checked the previous posts but still have not found my exact answer.
