Been working for my old man this weekend to help him out, driving this monster.

A John Deer tank? Cool!

There's some Claas Challengers on the farms I deliver to - they look like your toy - mad as fook when u meet em on a narrow lane

I drive a big truck, but always move out of the way for a tracked tractor!

And this is one of my old mans other ones that was working in the field next to me, same horse power but different make, they look pretty impressive when parked up together.

One farm I went to - the guy told me the tyres on his tractor cost Ł7000 for the rears and Ł4k for the fronts!

Looked mad as fook though - like a moster truck tractor, if such a thing exists! Also scary meeting combines on the lanes = they fill them more than my wagon does.

Why do peeps run tracked tractors? Less damage to the ground I guess?

yes mate, much much less ground compaction.

I didn't realise Combine's are also on tracks these days too!

timb551

they haven't realy had much success on combines yet, so 99% of all combines are on wheels and the benefit of tracks is not needed on a combine as al the work is done after the harvst to prepare the land for the next seasons crops.

Cool, how come you need belts, lots of mud?

its not cause its muddy mate, most fields are lol, its all to do with compaction. your feet walking across a field will compact the ground more than a tracked tractor.
