Kelderman Tracks Mount On Deere Combines
Those "high drive" row crop rubber tracks from Kelderman Mfg. that we told you about (Vol. 17, No. 6) are now available for Deere 9500 and 9600 combines. Built in 30 or 36-in. widths, the tracks mount directly on the combine's final drive and wheel hub. A pair of support beams extend from one side of the combine to the other to tie the two tracks together. A built-in suspension system provides 2 in. of movement to absorb shocks and eliminate the rough ride normally associated with direct-drive tracks.
The suspension is computerized using hydraulic cylinders backed by an accumulator and electronic sensor. The large diameter high drive wheel doesn't change your ground speed. The 30-in. track sells for $22,000; the 36-in. track for $25,000. Rubber track systems for Case-M, White, and Massey Ferguson combine models are being developed.
