>>>> I see Deere has a track tractor to compete with the Cat Challenger. Don't want to change a track or ask the price of either. <<<<
Hey, Ish. I saw, looked at, observed, mused over, drove by in truth, one of those tracked Deere's in Eastern Oregon. Maupin or Grass Valley. And wondered precisely the same thing: "Boy I bet those tracks are easy to handle, install, and cheap." Yah, light, like a hoola hoop. And I don't know, maybe there's some nifty way to get the track on, but......
["And this here contraption is your handy track-jack....." "And these are yure 3 renta-heppers."]
But I guess they don't go flat, either. My wild guess, tho, is that the track interface compresses soil more than a tire. I'm always wrong, so soil non-compression is probly why they were developed.
OK; how's this then for an objection: They look bad. They look ~ "non-farm". That's a sin, and everbody knows it.
God, what a geezer I am. |
