That had to be one of the wittyest things you've ever written here[emoji16]

There’s been tracked xerions for a while where users have put other manufacturers track units on them.

Looks a fair beast

Pictures of that tractor have been doing the rounds for months.only a limited market for that type of tractor and I’d imagine case has it pretty tied up with the quadtrac

There was a picture of an Xerion on tracks going around about 4 years ago so it is not something new. when Claas lost the Challenger to AGCO, it put a set of tracks on a Xerion for field tests, very limited market over here though i think. considering a lot of large scale farms are favouring higher hp normal tractors instead like the fendt 1050

worldwide . . .
case
new holland
john deere
versatile
not to mention the twin track challengers

Should be in interesting machine. There will be benefits to having conventional steering axles with mounted implements over the articulated steering of a Versatile or Quadtrac.

Claas have a good dealer and parts network too.

Bet it puts some massive forces through the axle hubs having to turn those tracks assemblies

Comes down to choice and brand loyalty i suppose

Yeah the big Fendt or Quadtrac is probably better but what is being the first person in the village/on faceache to have one worth to you?

I would have to agree with this I reckon four tracks should only be on an a bend in the middle tractor

I’d agree with both comments,but I’m sure claas have done their homework

There is a big Fendt on tracks near Warwick, they seem to get on very well with it. It’s a few years old now.

I thought for a minute you were going to say you fancied a set for yours!! before this seasons spreading starts just to ramp up the pressure a little more!!

I might be a bit daft, but I’m not a complete nutter!!
