Catcher

2018-06-05 21:53:13 UTC  

I wonder if they make those for cat 1s

2018-06-05 21:54:46 UTC  

I don't know. We supposedly have a smaller one but I've never seen it.

2018-06-05 22:00:02 UTC  

These two run on hydraulics but it's possible that they make some that use a PTO if your tractor doesn't have hydraulic hookups.

2018-06-05 22:02:21 UTC  

I got hydraulics but at my size its probably safer to run it on pto with all the rocks we have her

This one needs some work. This is how you move equipment when the shop is too small to turn the tractor.

New shiny bolt. Hopefully this one holds a little better than the last one.

It looks like someone dropped that boulder on your dogs head in that one pic

What a good dog

2018-06-07 21:40:03 UTC  

Glad to see you putting that dog to work😁 he's gotta earn those meals.

@John O - I've got a wheat field update for you.

@Deleted User I thought you might be interested in the control setup on that smaller tractor I was driving today.

2018-06-08 01:55:17 UTC  

Its called a quad-range. The front levers are your throttle and gear selectors. The back leavers control your hydraulics.

2018-06-08 01:57:17 UTC  

There are only three foot petals. The clutch on the left and the breaks on the right.

2018-06-08 02:17:14 UTC  

Nice thing about these older tractors is that you can leave your dog in them. Newer tractors with electronic controls are too easy for your dog to bump. Guys have died because they left their dogs in the cab while they go fix something.

2018-06-08 02:45:03 UTC  

For comparison the controls on a modern quadtrac are a bit more complicated.

Friends don’t let friends run tracks.
Be white run pneumatic tires.

@JesseJames do your kids like corn? I have lots of corn. 😂

2018-06-08 04:36:35 UTC  

@JesseJames What are the advantages and disadvantages of tracks?

2018-06-08 11:16:24 UTC  

@Der Seeteufel - SD they do but we actually grow our own..... sweet corn.

@Jacob I am kidding. I do tire sales and service for a living.

2018-06-08 11:30:16 UTC  

Right, but there must be some advantages and disadvantages, or else both wouldn't exist

2018-06-08 11:43:15 UTC  

Certainly. Tracks don’t go flat. Also it is supposed to offer more traction. But that is debatable. There are more failure points with tracks because of mor moving parts. The tracks are heavier and more expensive.

2018-06-08 12:12:13 UTC  

@Jacob tracks handle mud better and like Jesse said they don't go flat. That picture I responded to him with is a deer antler in the tire of one of our seed carts. That might be good for him but it really sucks for me. A flat tire can take hours to get fixed especially when you are in the middle of a field 30 miles from the nearest town. Also I don't know if it's a function of the tracks or just the fact that the tractor is much newer, but the quadtrac has by far the smoothest ride of any tractor I've driven.

2018-06-08 12:14:59 UTC  

This looks fun
