Anyone else seen these equalizing tracks from Unverferth yet? Absolutely awesome! Always wondered when a pivoting track for grain carts would hit the market.

The 42" belt are unreal, huge flotation. I would be a little concerned about longevity.

Good idea with the pivoting. I'd just be concerned turning a 2000 bu loaded and it wanting to roll under. There is some bite in a soft field making sharp turns.

Why wouldn't they just go longer instead? No sense in making a wider footprint. It still isn't the largest footprint out there though. I also hope the wheels got wider in all this too, or it would be all for nothing I think.

Anyone with tracks on grain cart, can you comment how they are when turning? On dry ground, do they push or dig in when turning sharp?

First year with an Elmer's 1600. Tracks were a huge advantage this year with being a little wetter. Have to be careful when turning while 3/4 full or more but handles turns around a 60 or so ft radius if about half full. Leaves maybe a 2 inch berm during those types of turns.

I have a Brent 2096 on tracks and I'll turn sharp with 2000bus and it leaves very little ridges. Not even close to a two track tractor, probably even less than the ridges left by my last cart with steerable tandem axle.

We run a Brent 1082 with the 900's. Usually pull it with a 8310 john Deere, this year half way through we put our T9.670 smarttax on it to due to wet conditions. We weren't making ruts really, but when that cart was close to full was causing some compaction for sure. Driving the fields now, couple weeks later and you can feel all the cart tracks. Also, it's only 3 or 4 years old and both tires are shot allready. That will be a $10,000 fix. Thinking maybe tracks on the next one, probably go to a 1300-1500 bushel.

I had the exact same experience with a Unverferth 1000bus cart, go with tracks you won't regret it.
