Rethinking Productivity Never Stops

Nov 25, 2019

Case IH Magnum™ and Steiger™ Rowtrac™ series tractors give producers several agronomic advantages that help increase productivity.

One example of Case IH Agronomic Design™ is the recent addition of a 21-inch-wide track. This track reduces the soil ground pressure and offers additional clearance in the root zone for flat row crops and bedded crops planted in 30-, 36- and 38-inch row spacings.

Complexity and unnecessary operations have no place in the business model of top producers. This is why all Rowtracs have automatic track tensioning.

“When you activate a hydraulic valve or turn the steering wheel, the tracks automatically tension to 10,000 psi,” said Mitch Kaiser, Case IH Steiger tractor marketing manager. “There is never a doubt that the tracks are tensioned properly. This contributes to longer track life, helps reduce cost of operation and increases ROI.”

Whether in the field or on the road, Case IH Rowtrac series tractors provide a superior ride quality. The increased vibration dampening leads to less than a 2% slippage on the track compared to 5% to 8% on a comparable wheel tractor.

Video: A chain harrow is a game changer

Utilizing a rotational grazing method on our farmstead with our sheep helps to let the pasture/paddocks rest. We also just invested in a chain harrow to allow us to drag the paddocks our sheep just left to break up and spread their manure around, dethatch thicker grass areas, and to rough up bare dirt areas to all for a better seed to soil contact if we overseed that paddock. This was our first time really using the chain harrow besides initially testing it out. We are very impressed with the work it did and how and area that was majority dirt, could be roughed up before reseeding.

Did you know we also operate a small business on the homestead. We make homemade, handcrafted soaps, shampoo bars, hair and beard products in addition to offering our pasture raised pork, lamb, and 100% raw honey. You can find out more about our products and ingredients by visiting our website at www.mimiandpoppysplace.com. There you can shop our products and sign up for our monthly newsletter that highlights a soap or ingredient, gives monthly updates about the homestead, and also lists the markets, festivals, and events we’ll be attending that month.
