“These tracks enable a farmer or contractor with the same tractor or machine to extend the working season by being able to work when ground conditions do not suit wheeled vehicles,” said Zuidberg Tracks export manager, Gerben Klungel.
They can be fitted to the drive wheels only ie harvesters, or to both axles for even more traction to drive over surfaces with a lower load bearing capacity earlier or later in the season.
The tracks are easily interchangeable with fitting and removal which can be done in a short time. Machines do not require any major modifications.
“I believe a farmer should only take about 1 ½ hours to fit or remove the tracks to or from a tractor,” said Klungel.
With tractors the tracks are fitted directly onto the axle and with heavier combines and harvesters an adapter is put on the machine to carry the weight and the tracks are fitted to the adapter.
Tracks can be 30 cm to 92 cm wide and traction is increased with the tracks being self cleaning. Soil conditions are not damaged because ground pressure is reduced by up to 75 per cent so growth of crops is unaffected.
Tracks can also be custom made.
