How not to get stuck in the mud - GripTrac - Track That!

[23sneakers]

dude that is soooo sweet

[GoldenSectionBanned]

Water is easy to drive through with wheels only. Its when you get into just mud or no bottom that wheels crap out.

[savageARMS17]

@Mongoheadmonster and in your discription, WHY THE HELL WOULD I drive IN that shit any way Exactley

[Mongoheadmonster]

@savageARMS17 Too get the crop harvested.......that's why......

[sexydieseltech]

@savageARMS17 Too make that stuff you eat everyday! Think a little. No farmers = no food, clothing, compost, etc. THANK GOD FOR FARMERS!

[savageARMS17]

@sexydieseltech hey bitch i am a farmer the duche in the vid could have waited a few days

[sexydieseltech]

@savageARMS17 ok "bitch" prove it. All i see is snow but no farms. :(

[Mongoheadmonster]

Great video I think.....And to all the fuckers on here that are saying "why would you want to do this"!!!!!! sometimes a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do.....whats the alternative????not harvest the crop??? I'm sure if this guy could choose nice dry conditions to combine in....he would! At least he had balls enough to invest in tracks and get er done. AWESOME VIDEO

[bobby63huppert]

DRAIN TILE!!!!!!! THATS ALL I NEED TO SAY

[liajam081]

hmmm was the mud harvest good?

[haulinagain]

why would anyone combine when its that wet?? pounding equipment  and land......dont make sense to me

[yourdeadinhalo2]

@haulinagain sometimes you have no choice... contracts and amounts of land can force you to farm when its wet... if you have 30k acres, then you cant stop or you'll end up not harvesting it all in time.. and contracts have due dates as well

[05hondarincon650]

compacting the ground alot right there

[razor56p]

looks like that place is more suited to growing rice haha

[zwe1]

must have needed quite a bit of drying for the grain with all that moisture coming from underneath.

[arteddie]

in all my life i have never come across a wheat field covered in water and mud like that

[babzholm]

doesnt need plowing after that..!

[international1256]

good way to fuck up a field

[br549200]

who wants to do that much damage to their fields?

[teecuzbruh]

yeah man a tracked machine can get stuck in a low spot but have better all around flotation in wet conditions. whats really bad with tracks is you gotta keep an eye on that shit you don't want that breaking way in the shit in the middle of the fieldaway from good hard ground

[cessnawings67]

ANYTHING can and usually will get stuck at one time or another. Anybody that has been operating equipment for any length of time will tell you so.

[johneastmond]

All I've ever done is hay. This is intense! I bet with the tracks you'd get stuck at times! That makes what I do seem rather weak! We have to keep from catching fire, but going for a swim? You can have it!

[thegreenerthemeaner]

some people need to learn more about rice harvesting before they show their apparent lack of it. I have seen corn picked when the water was about3 inches below the ears. JD 7700 on steel tracks, 1979. No other choice because of flood

[lucpins]

pretty shure case could go trough because they weight about half the weight but are half good also

[barrydevin]

thats awsome

[coolaid84]

dude are you kidding me? just because its a caase it wont get stuck?

do you even realize how those things weigh? even with flotation tires and duals it would still get stuck just as easily as any other combine.

the thing is, those rear drive steers are just rudders. they make tracks for the rears too. even if you only put free tracks on it it would still do better than a CASE with flotations all around and 4 wheel drive. imagine a 4track drive. get that stuck

[farmhandstudios]

if that were a case it wouldn't need tracks

[cessnawings67]

I know a few Farmers that would certainly disagree and from experience. Aint much Red and Black paint around NW IL. 20 minutes from Deere's Plant in Moline. lol

[darksideoffroad]

Looks like he's cutting rice. Farmers cut with water still in the fields pretty often around here (Louisiana). Most use regular tires unless they're close to the marsh.

[pruitt3507]

that deere a 4x4?

[leafspring431]

looks pretty flat there, probably to flat to tile, NE South Dakota is probably going to be that way this fall....

[redbirdsbaseball9]

tile that field.wont have that problem.plus no ruts that your going to have

[e8uTu0Y]

wow what a sloppy field.. wonder if it's tiled ??

We never get standing water like that around our area.

Nice to see you can get it off though.. however it sure makes a mess of the field..

[5cuthbert1]

i agree with the last bit

[Iciielitez]

lexions / claas's have their own track system on a terratrack

[stickturd123]

u have a whole grain bin on top of that

[JRCollinsfan]

That ai't wet, thats a damned swamp!!! Me too!

[reyelmo23]

They don't have to dig, go no till hahahah make sure to get flotation tires on that sucker and a good trac tractor!

[jaredboomhower]

lol mite wanna get out the disk wen it gets a little harder eh?

[glempa5]

we have it proved :P

[amwindschitl]

Have fun digin. . . . .

[Matt0ttens213]

they should have another combine going with wheels to see the difference

[thefamousDrFeelgood]

@Matt0ttens213 combine in teh water = stuck

[kroupal1]

@thefamousDrFeelgood erm no it doesn't... sadly... where they are im sure a combine with regular duals could make it. u can drive through standing water with anything and not get stuck, it is the "mud" u get stuck in.

[kyleo18]

what a royal mess

[cumminsforlife]

Who the hell harvests in a feild that is muddy. that is a good way to reck the combine and the crop will still wet.

[sjaderlund]

so dumbass, would you prefer they harvest after the snow has fallen and that water and mud are ice?????????

think be4 u type

[lkr2751]

rear track and and john deere combine= one over them all kickass motherfucker great harvester!!! xD

[JRCollinsfan]

rear tracks and you got oune kickass combine

[nchayfarmer]

there not john deere brand there a custom application id imagine

[tractorboydavid]

bah...... terra tracks are better

[Claas15000]

all i know is i aint gonna be the one to plow that p.o.s.

[grzeszny24]

GAbi lol to ciężko nazwac polem to jezioro jest xD

[gabi12346]

ale wy macie pola

[AASparkChaser]

That looks like some of our spring wheat harvests in the flat Red River Valley of northwestern Minnesota. But, you do what you have to for getting the crop off.

[586guest2]

does it damage the crops at all?

[16matthewb16]

not sure...but around here standing water means its too wet to cut

[caseboy0101]

Fuck ploughing after you've been in the field with that thing

[judderman37]

Wow! never knew JD had their version of the Claas LGP terra-trac! with a machine like that the farmers in Scotland would have no problems with getting bogged down in their wheeled machines. do new holland make a simaler machine? never seen it on the uk website, NH is quite popular around the scottish borders just now, JD/ Claas head to head in second place!

[johndeere8030]

nah m8 im on th english side of the border, claas is a more popular combine dads frendly with alot of farmers on the scottish side and says word is theres alot of lexions kicking about nw, may be different in ur area of the border tho.

[BRYDENGTA08]

New Holland do have a tracked version like the lexion and J/D.

I used to have a john deere that had tracks but we sold it and brought a 4 wheeled drive version.

[TheDieselDr]

This is how we do it in S.E. Texas!!!!!!! I'll try to get some videos of rice farmers water leveling their fields..you flood the field get this "ON PURPOSE"...

"Have a Rice day"

[TheDieselDr]

Looks like a typical S.E. Texas rice field to me.. gotta get it outa there no matter what, can't wait a month for it too dry!!! that's what the dryers are for... mr.georgew7530 to me it looks like 100% moisture content... Got Rice?

[johndeeremadmark]

do u not know that when it is wet you do not havest your just wasting ur time because thaen it take agges to dry

[nchayfarmer]

I have never even been close to a rice field but I imagine there like soybeans it kan have water standing in the field and you can pick beans dryer than hell

[plainville2k7]

you sure do know how to make ruts.

[yuh93]

Slopy conditions!!!

[sparmer47]

wow i've never seen anything like that in idaho we harvest when it's actually dry. i didn't even know they made combines like that. Maybe that's not wheat though could be rice or something

[Publiclnvasion]

this isnt even impressive i bet a regular mud hog tire could handle this it's solid under that water

[JohnDeereBoy100]

bet when one of thows gets stuck it gets stuck big time.

[tmx864]

you cant even get out to pee

[travislmcdonald]

sure he got out but it will be a bitch to fix later. stay out of the feild

[Portnob]

i no u gotta harvest when you can but and that looks boggy and doesnt show signs of draining thorugh butin other situations would you just not botherseeding in the first plcae if u new the risks

[Farmerknowsbest]

In 2004 I worked for a farm that ran an 8010. We got 15 inches of rain in October that year. Duals were entirely useless and we were getting stuck twice a day. We put on a pair of griptracs and the combine would walk through anything. There were many fields that we had to drive the combine out onto the road to unload into the grain buggy as there was no way it would make it 10ft into the field.

[walkintall67]

200,000 and up

[prodriver12345]

how much it wiegh?

[walkintall67]

Sweet setup, tracks or good they just don't seem to move fast or turn sharp enough. Probably makes up for the time not being stuck. Please post more of these

[jeepman655]

That thing is HUGE!!!

[tlkjack]

Yes I need more video clips. They can handle much more than this.

[kroupal1]

@tlkjack why would u wanna thjat is just fucking dumb! All u are prooving is how big of tracks u can make, that u need ot get rid of.
