Apparently the Lads thought the Quadtrac was the better tractor over the RX, I agree.........................and one of their 620s was working just down the road as well. Nice buy Phil, I prefer the look of a Quadtrac to the RX, I enjoyed the video too of the Quad working on the Millenial farm, I think hes uploaded one too now. Have you got something in mind to go behind it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CX820Joe Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Over the moon with this, though one of the cab windows had fallen out (seems to have gone back in). One side of the injector wont stay up so will need the hydraulic cylinder treated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1/32 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 That video is fascinating, I wonder what the purpose is behind crabbing across the field like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that it's to reduce compaction in the field, as all six wheels are running on a different bit of ground, spreading the weight over a larger area rather than all running on the same two wheelings. It certainly looks like it would be a heavy beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Yes the crabbing is to reduce compaction as these machines are very heavy,The machine itself weighs 28.500 kg or 62.700 lbs, Then the tank holds 26.000 kg = 57.000 lbs,and the polyester Flextank on top holds 6.000 kg = 13.200 lbs,That adds up to a very heavy piece of kits, 60.500 kg, or 132.900 lbs, Or in the UK, 58.9 ton,The Flextank is a fairly new addition which now means it can hold a full tank from a road going artic tanker,Here is a video of another 7028-3 with a dribble bar on dual's, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZmM1Q_pcAU Regards Joe.

1/32 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I wondered if that was the purpose, makes sense. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
