Customer experience with the all-new SMARTTRAX tractors from New Holland has been above expectations. Just how smooth the ride is can only be experienced in the field but the superior traction, turn capability and pure pulling power can be seen in the attached video of John Williamson planting twin-20” corn this Spring. Notice that the tractor doesn’t berm the soil when turning. Excitement about this product continues to grow as soil compaction, especially in wet soils that occur all the time (but not quite like 2015, thankfully) is seen as a major factor in yield limitation. Tillage to reduce compaction becomes less necessary with the SMARTTRAX design. Two-track systems marketed by competitors have serious drawbacks on turning, tractor control in the field and above all else, compaction of soil by the rear end of the track under higher draft loads.
