Stabilizing Wheels On Tractor
I'm sending along a photo of our Case/David Brown 995 tractor with front-wheel assist. The photo shows two side-mounted, hydraulically controlled stabilizing wheels that we mounted on the tractor. There are some other features about this tractor that make
it ideal for clearing brush on steep hillsides on our farm. It has a reversible engine coolant fan to blow debris off the radiator and a steel belly pan that runs the length of the tractor. Since this photo was taken, we've added steel radial truck tires, size 11R-22.5, inside the 11.2/10/24 tractor tires. This has completely eliminated flat tire problems.
We use the tractor with a pto-driven rotary brush cutter to cut brush and weeds on our 900-acre stock farm. The way this tractor is set up, I feel as safe cutting brush on a steep hillside as I would driving a car down the highway.
