Boy, farming in your neck of the woods is alot different that here in the midwest. I'm used to corn & soybeans

And in the midwest we don't have a Sh*ter on wheels we just find a tree. :(:eek:

 

And the picture of that wheat field :jester: oh how I miss that part, living in the city sucks compared to parking your *ss in a combine for 12 hours. :seeya::seeya:

Yeah country living is great.......... Went out last night to shut the water off.. Felt the urge pissed right there on the spot..............

 

:thumbs::lol:

 

Too much information??????

 

The dog must've liked it, he went over a pissed on the tree

Ive never even seen soybeans before . :D

What is the advantage to the tracks on the Challenger?

 

Flotation? Less soil compression? Tractability? Load Capacity/Traction?

 

Can you get more speed with tracks than tires?(w/same load and power)

Posted

The main thing that we got it it for is finishing seedbeds (along with our D5B) thats where the less soil compaction comes into play .

More of a foot print than a wheeled tractor the weight is spread over a larger distance .

 

Some may disagree with me but I dont think that it provides anymore traction than a MFWD tractor

 

As far as load capacity im not sure what it is but we pull the same implement it has in those pics with a 4440 and it is a much much smaller tractor and it handles it just great .

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
