Bigger back wheels definitely keep you up when its soft.
Just looked on combine operators page on Fb there’s a tx 34 with duels on dragging its back wheels like an anchorIn 2007 I tried Duals first and then rear wider wheels. The wider rear wheels were so good that I took the duals off to move field and didn’t need to fit them again. The problem is that the gap between the duals and original front wheels quickly fills with mud and you loose traction because the cleats can’t keep clean.
If you goolge Simple Ideas to make a make a NewHolland TF Combine better, it is explained in there. That Combine came from Kelso, where the original owner specified a 20’ instead of a 24’ header because he had very steep and undulating fields. It is the only Combine I have ever had with a heater in the cab!
we had amega 204 from the borders that had aheater the way its going i wish it sucessor had one!In 2007 I tried Duals first and then rear wider wheels.

Yesare you still looking?
Link?
Some might flippantly say that is either an old photo or it hasn't been used for years, if at all. Because there are no scorch marks on the engine bay, yet!
Love it!Not all dominators have the engine behind the cab

Designers never have to clean them,On a serious note, it really annoys me that so many manufacturers now use block type radiators that are engine coolant coolers, air intercoolers, engine oil coolers and hydraulic/hydrostatic oil coolers all in one, stacked above each other. They require a very thick core in a small area that can plug with dust more easily. They are also much more difficult to remove because they have at least 8 pipes attached to them.
Stupid idea to save a few quid, no doubt.
It is usually the bottom one that blocks the most and is the most difficult to get to, to clean.
On NH's, this tends to be the Hydraulic/hydrostatic cooler.
is that a 68 or 88 ?Not all dominators have the engine behind the cab

dont use pressure washer any sh!t thats left will turn to concrete when it gets warm.Designers never have to clean them,
If only they were individual cores that hinged out, the engine oil and hydraulic cooler could be 1 split in 2 half's vertical, and longer pipes to allow it to hinge right, and then the air intercooler and air con rads hinged left, leaving just the engine cooling radiator fixed, then A you could get airline/ pressure washer at each one individually, and B if a failure, only need to replace that one
