Hi I recently purchased an 11 hp diesel bcs 853 and the agrizetta steel tracks along with the moldboard plow and a rotary mower. I live in mexico close to the texas border and the Gulf of Mexico.
Here are some pics. I put on the tracks and tried using the moldboard plow today, it is not easy but it was fun.
The mower worked great on some brush (mesquite,granjeno, huisache) that I killed a few weeks back with triclopyr, no flat tires with the steel tracks! A bit sluggish but better than I thought
Anyway I had some problems with the differential lock engaged and the tractor wanting to go to the right all the time as the plow tried to get deeper into the ground, and one of the tracks even tried to spin up a bit which was worrisome... I decided not to use the differential lock and use the one wheel brake to go straight but I’m worried my brakes will probably fail if I rely on them all the time, is this normal? I probably need to adjust the plow better. Any advice ?
Cheers!
