Bolt-On Combine Duals
If your combine's equipped with a 6 row or wider header, you'll be interested in new bolt-on duals from Unverferth Mfg., Kalida, Ohio.Designed for both conventional or ridge till, they're available for most makes of combines with 10 bolt hubs. "A choice of 5, 10, 13 or 15 in. dual extensions, and dual wheels in any size, assures that there's a package to fit most any farmer's operation," says Dan Fanger, sales manager.
"Most farmers leave them on all the time ù muddy field conditions or not," notes Fanger. "Duals spread combine weight over more area so you get less soil compaction. In soybeans, they keep the header more level for a more efficient harvest. We recommend using the same size tires on both the inside and outside duals. In no case should the outside dual's loaded radius exceed that of the inside dual. If you're not into ridge till, there's no reason to run the row between the duals. All you need is a minimum of 4.5 in. of spacing between the duals ù just enough to throw mud clear."
Prices start at $1,200 for dual wheels and hubs (not including tires).
