HI VARTY is that 275hp mate nice one there and a 16ton trailer :thumbup1:jon

 

I believe its 220hp and 14ton trailer jon, the fasrtracs are fast but gutless compared to the j deere equivalent

Out of interest does anyone else use a chaser bin?

I did in oz and Canada in the late '80s Steve but they were a rare thing here.

 

Having been out of ag for 15 years myself, and the fact combines and machinery in general are getting bigger all the time, guess they must be getting more popular here now.

The reason I asked is that I have never seen another in use in my area, but compaction on the ground is beginning to be an issue. and we now use 2 tractor/trailers instead of 3 and they are not racing along the tramlines chasing the combine saving diesel

Looks like it has some low ground pressure tyres on for it.

 

When I worked with them the main reason for using them was, the corn went onto trucks for transport, tractors were not widely used on roads as a trip of 50 to 100 miles was common back to store.

 

The trucks themselves were not always ideal for travelling in the field alongside the combine, hence the chasers.

Hi Gray is it used for the life boat mate nice one Jon

[Gray git]

Yes they use it for putting the boat in and out, articulated, duel direction driving, hydraulic hatches to seal the engine bay and keep the sea out and a hatch in the top of the cab to get in.
