Modified Tracks Reduce Compaction

Modified Tracks Reduce Compaction COMBINES Modifications 19-2-33 Illinois farmer Joseph Burt has used add-on tracks on his combine for years. He found a way to increase floatation of the tracks even more by widening them out with with 2 1/2-ft. long pieces of channel iron. Burt bolted the channel iron pieces to the original track, which added about an extra foot of width to the track. He says the modification doesn't affect operation of the tracks and has the benefits of boosting flotation while at the same time reducing compaction. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Joseph C.
