Has anybody been doing this on flat ground? We have a 9750 with a hillco leveler that is continually breaking the bolt circle out. The first one that we found was 3 years ago in the middle of harvest, and just yesterday we found both of our inside duals were broken also. As these wheels have been breaking we have been going to heavier and heavier steel in the center and currently schwabs is putting in 3/4 inch flat iron. When we have these two fixed we will have replaced all of the front wheels and one of them will be the second time recentered!
I have a very strong feeling that the tremendous force of holding one of these machines on a sidehill is our problem. We farm a piece of ground that has 45-50% slopes and some of it can be soft causing the combine to slide. One of the reasons could be that the tires do not level with the machine as they used to in the past, instead they stay perpendicular to the ground.
Has anyone seen this in other cases whether it is flat ground or hillside farming? Or did we just recieve a bad set of wheels! TIA
