Not much mention of the quadtrack on this forum. Not sure whether that’s good or bad! I’m looking for opinions please. It would be an older one between the £40,000 - £70,000 price range. HP isn’t important as it’s more about the ability to travel in less than ideal conditions putting in cereals after 500ac of maize for AD. I’m looking at doing this in one pass with probably a combination drill fitted with some pan busting legs in front of the powerharrow.
Im aware of the oil in the idler issue which means fitting see through hubs so checking is easier but it’s a Steiger ultimately so engine and gearbox should be ok? Steigers are tried and tested having been around for years so are they cheap hp?
I know they like a drink but it’s the compromise I’m willing to make as it’s the track on each corner I’m mostly interested in. It would also do the cultivations to establish 500ac of maize in the spring so I’m estimating no more than 300 hours a year so looking to put something into retirement basically.
