Power Krawler

[farmboy12]

Has anyone been quoted on Kubota's Power Krawler? I know it is mainly available in Canada, but watched a Youtube vid of one in Cali. I'm not to interested in buying, but it sounds interesting.

Never heard of one. Got any pictures?

I think this is what he means. Rubber tracked dump.

It's about the quickest way to increase pulling power about 20% per horsepower that anyone could get without buying a bigger tractor that will burn more fuel!

Just saw one on a dealer lot here in Western NY but haven't asked the price yet.

Its 8k more than the wheeled version of the tractor. There is a 120hp wide frame krawler that will be comming in a few months thats suited for AG applications, this is an orchard tractor.

WOW!! That thing is AWESOME!! I've gotta get me one..wait..I don't need one. Sure looks cool though

Our local dealer has had one here for a while, suppose they could use it on the Christmas tree farms.

Messick-
Does that rear track mechanism make the Kubota's aluminum @ss heavier? Our 4900 can easily handle 2klb pallets, it doesn't have weights.

Also, we definately use industrials, those ags sink right in, do you think you could somehow get them to fit the narrows? We don't need narrow, but we need tracks!

 

[MessickFarmEqu]

Yea, it add's a good 1300-1500lbs. The only model that has tracks now is the 8540 narrow, a large frame M is comming shortly. Can you see the trend...? expect more machines to follow.
