TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE NARROWEST TRACK SYSTEM IN THE INDUSTRY

February 1, 2021

We are aware that farmers don’t have much time to work in their fields and can’t wait for the perfect weather. See why by using a Soucy track systems on your row crops tractors, you will be able to follow your own pace and always be ready to work without damaging your soil and crops.

Increased ground clearance to protect your crops
With the S-TECH 600R, the ground clearance will be increased by 6 to 14 inches (150 to 350 mm), depending on the model of tractor and the way tires are mounted. This will enable you to move through growing crops and better protect your precious plants throughout operations.

Rava Ranch a vegetable farming operation located in California, uses the S-TECH 600R track systems on some of their row crops tractors during springtime. It allows them to be more versatile and to get in the fields sooner than with their wheeled tractors, especially when there is a lot of rain and the weather makes it hard to access the fields. The nice part about the tracked tractors for Rava Ranch is the high clearance. It allows them to keep the belly of the tractor from hitting the plants and to prevent shoulder damage from dirt being pushed up over the shoulders.

Zack McDermott, a farm manager at Rava Ranch, is very satisfied with Soucy tracks on their row crops tractors: “Seeing what we can do with tracks as opposed to what we would normally do with wheeled tractors, there’s a huge advantage to using them.”

More flotation to get in the fields when you need to
The S-TECH 600R provides up to 4 times as much ground contact area as tires of comparable width. This results in a sensible solution for soils with low-bearing capacity and in a versatile tool to work in wet conditions. This high flotation solution can be used in row crops as it reduces ground damage in difficult conditions resulting in less time and money spent leveling fields and fixing ruts.

Rava Ranch uses Soucy tracks in the springtime, especially after late rains to prevent messing up the beds and furrows as a tracked tractor offers more flotation. ‘’Those tracks helped us get in the fields sooner to get the fields ready to plants while at other times it would have been impossible with wheeled tractors.’’
