This looks like it's good going. Should been on my farm in March of 2020 with corn to still combine in about 2 .5 ft of snow and ground wasn't frozen and wet ground to begin with from to much rain. I put on steal tracks on my old combine. Grain cart with wheels couldn't get out there with it empty. My neighbor came over with his quadtrack and grain cart with tracks on it. At least he could get around some with grain cart. He still only get 2 hoppers in the cart with a 1100 bushel cart. The last day we were out there it was 50 degrees and the grain cart person just about got stuck but he could back up and get out if hie hole. It was the last day to be out there.

Did you guys already have those tracks sitting in the shed? Or did you have to scramble to find em when you realized it was going to be the only way to harvest? How do they compare to deere's tracks? Or are they deere's? I remember years ago a very large farmer (you probably have heard of him. Maybe?) Runs a lot of ground around Indianapolis airport and west of Indianapolis. Runs red equipment. He had someone custom build him a couple of corn heads. I can't remember for sure. I think they were custom folding 24row heads on 20in rows. And he had them on case combines when they first came out with tracks. Well when he tried to go down the Rd he almost burned both units up bc the bogey wheels would get so hot after just a few miles that the oil in them would start burning. Luckily it was caught in time. But I guess from then on he would just move them under 10mph if he was gonna road them. But fun fact a out him farming around the Indianapolis airport. Well when they did the renovations to the runways to be able to handle larger aircrafts. He had actual documented proof of a roughly 15bu an acre loss in every cornfield and 10bu loss in beans once the runways we're made operational. So he took his proof from years of yield data to the airport like wtf. And Purdue university did a study and found that it was from the unburnt fuel with the bigger aircraft taking off at full throttle. Good thing is that all that corn went to national starch In Downtown Indianapolis to be processed into corn syrup. Yummy jet fuel. (Probably why mt dew has such a kick!). But I assume that this was the reason a study was even done. Bc all of their acres are done under contract. So a loss of 15bu per acre really messed with what they were expecting for the year bc the guy had so many acres with them. It was a great contract bc if you could hold out till July you got a $.90 premium per bushel. So when corn was $2 or $3. That's when a lot of the small farmers in the 80s and 90s either got big or when the wheat mill in downtown Indianapolis took everyone's contracts and then filed bankruptcy in the 90s. Not paying anyone. The guys that were able to land contracts with national starch had that little boost and didn't have to file bankruptcy themselves. Well sorry for the ramble. Hopefully someone finds it interesting!

Indianapolis is one of my favorite midwestern locations. Thanks for the comment!

Gotta blow through the straw immediately so it doesn't collapse. Like a 70 degree bend 3/4" from the end.

I use a lighter to put an angle on lube straw, and spray the link plate junctions on the inside of roller chains, imagining that's where it needs hit and it centrifuges through instead of flinging off? Who knows. Nobody else does it.

Wonder how many pounds of mud would fall off all the equipment if you let it dry then drove “hot laps” in a parking lot?

Drive slow especially when turning with tracks. Lots of aftermarket manufacturers say 15 mph road speed max, I believe the John Deere factory tracks are the same. you'll need rear wheel assist to be able to turn in that slop with tracks as well.

Do the combine's have some sort of GPS controlled auto-pilot because it is amazing how they seem to stay on track as they run through the corn rows? No deviation until you got to the end of the rows.

LOOKS LIKE LOGGING! HEE HEE!

whats up with the 8 rows?

I believe these tracks were replaced by a different design. These were considered mud pushers, perhaps it was the weight of the head that created the problem? This design is very similar to military tanks, & they are not mud pushers. Just a thought . The evidence is in the performance, good or bad.

@firstname6208

2 жыл бұрын

The 8 row has at least two advantages in muddy conditions. First its lighter than a 12 row (common sense) secondly he can combine faster thus staying ahead of the wave and on top of the mud. Once you sink into it, it takes even more power to pull thru.

I’m surprised that combine can take 250 BU corn at 8MPH!

The design flaw with those aftermarket tracks is that they push the mud in front of them, which makes deeper ruts compared to the JD tracks which stay more on the top of the mud in many conditions, which also requires less power, and fuel.
