How do you move those big field cults. from state to state? just drive them?

[mx270a]

@9240ab They arrive from the factory in pieces and are assembled locally. Once assembled, they don't typically go long distances. You either pull it there or disassemble it for transport, which would take a lot of time.

thanks! didn't know since you can't just drive that on a trailer.

The powershift Steigers always start out in 1st gear. You would never get the field gap worked if you got her up to speed before you sink it in. That 9180 probably has enough torque to drop that finisher in at an idle and it would pull it. Least that was what my old KP1325 Steiger will do.

You dont wanna take off with the disks in the dirt. That wears out a clutch fast. I drop em after I'm rolling and already at full speed.

i agree, i would rather keep the revs lower and not tear up the trany

[9150man]

True, but it will still blow a little black smoke when it shifts even at 1700 RPM.

[jota1995devil]

You gotta keep the revs up when taking off under load. Every puff of black smoke is the engine labouring. Keep it above 1700rpm or so depending.

nice vid
