John Deere's New SUPERSTEER Tractor

Re: John Deere\'s New SUPERSTEER Tractor

It took our Allis articulated wheel loader with forks, and 2 ramsey winches to get it out of the culvert. We brought it back to the farm on a tri-axle equipment trailer behind one of our dump trucks. We had to drag it off with another tractor. She is currently awaiting the insurance adjuster for a total. We'd buy her back for parts, but I don't think there is much good left and the boom sprayer wasn't worth bringing home either.

Re: John Deere\'s New SUPERSTEER Tractor

some ambitious sole will buy it from the insurance company and try to put it back together they always do. I have a customer right know that bought a burner he has been working on it for almost 2 years he tells me he is almost done with it now! I dont know what he paid for it from the insurance company, but with the amount of parts he has bought in 2 years he could have bought a pretty good used one.

We never had one "roast", but I have a buddy who lost 2 round balers to fire in the last 3 years. Last fall I bought a new New Holland round baler and put the fire supression kit on it.

I'm not going to take any chances. Looks to me that the fire supression kit wil allow you time to unhitch your tractor and get away from the baler. We always try to bale at 12% or better but sometimes the moisture is lower and I can see that heat buildup in a rolling bale could be a problem....
