| If you want to know what your ground pressure is go to the tire manufacturer and look up the Flat plate area for both your front and rear tires on a mfd multiply each flat plate by the number of tires then all you have to do is figure out your weight split on your tractor and divide out by for example a 40 60 weight split front to rear on a mfd (.4 * gross tractor weight)/Front tire flat plate = Front tire psi
(.6* gross tractor weight)/rear tire flat plate = rear tire psi
I have done many comparisons on the 4wd tracks vs wheels ground pressures and the only way to get a wheel machine close to a quadtrac is to put triples on it
that is even with a Case ih quad weighing more than its wheeled cousin.. moral of the story is you get a much bigger area for weight distribution
The other benefit is your are only running one set of tracks through the field on a track machine vs two with wheeled... | |
