Permanently-Installed Cable Tow System For Combines COMBINES Accessories Get a combine stuck once without a Combine Cable System from Vosberg Enterprises and you won’t do it again Installing the cable ahead of time makes it easy to hook on and pull a combine out of the muck
“Combines aren’t designed to be pulled out from the rear ” says Jeff Vosberg “If a combine gets stuck you have to burrow under to get a chain or cable to the front axle Having the cable installed is an insurance policy should you get stuck Without it a 1-hr job can turn into 6 or more ”
Vosberg says the Combine Cable System can be used on any brand combine The cable goes up and over both sides of the front axle and back to a hook anchor shackle that is hung at the rear of the combine Tow straps rated at 40 000 and 60 000-lb loads are available to connect to the shackle
While the Combine Cable System seems to be a simple system easily imitated Vosberg warns that it is carefully engineered
“When chains and cables break they can cause severe damage and danger ” he says “If anything gives it should be the tow strap The Combine Cable System is designed around that idea ”
A 60 000-lb tow strap has a breaking strength of 120 000 lbs While the 1-in steel cable has a breaking strength of only 107 000 lbs when doubled over in the recommended installation the breaking strength reaches 214 000 lbs The clevis has a breaking strength of 144 000 lbs so it will also fail before the cable does
Vosberg says the new system had a good first year thanks to a wet fall “We sold many kits this fall mostly in our area ” says Vosberg “People used them and they worked They told us they were glad they had the system in place before they got buried ”
The Combine Cable System comes complete with hook anchor shackle cable and cable clamps It’s priced at $508 39 The addition of a 40 000-lb tow strap brings the price to $743 39 A 60 000-lb tow strap raises it to $992 77
