Field leveling using a CASE IH STX 375 Quadtrac with BOS Terra dozer / Scraper and two FENDT 936 Vario's (one on WestTrac tracks) both with BOS Terra Dozers from contractor Gebr. Bork of Slootdorp, The Netherlands. - Video by Tractorspotter
Where have you guys been? I have been checking for weeks for more video and I have to think that you guys are doing some interesting farming since it is summertime. Look forward for more updates.
+YensR A grader has only a blade and can't carry any dirt. The boxes on the back is what is doing the work. They are scrapers and yes they come self propelled, with 2 engines, often. This is a contractor and he simply has to be able to utilise his gear in multiple ways. Tractors can do other things, scraper can't. Lower ground pressure with this set up too since civil engineering does not involve itself with soil compaction. In fact, quite the opposite, a well compaction substrate is a requirement.
+Alex Veldhuis Hi Alex, graders can move dirt. If you watch the video you will see that the scrapers are not actually carrying the dirt. You are right, in normal scraper use, a scraper (whether self-propelled or pulled) picks up dirt in its bowl and then dumps it elsewhere. But this does not happen here. They are making a very flat field even flatter - which is exactly where a grader would be superior. You are right though, for the contractor it makes sense to utilise their universal tractors and not get an expensive grader - but for the owner of the field, the question is a bit different. As I said initially, lower ground pressure is important and probably beats any levelling advantages of a grader.
My limited knowledge of farming and the fact that you don't see basically any tracked John Deeres here in East Central Georgia USA kept my thinking away from tractors with tracks. As you and Billy Goose say tracked tractors causing less compression is logical.
CyMonVids it's mainly useful for tulip and other flower crops, the bulbs are very sensitive to water and a level field ensures all bulbs are equally wet
Henrik Pettersson At 2:16 you can see a laser turret in the middle of the field. It is used to map the entire field for search areas with "holes" (no sufficient terrain) and areas with too much terrain. This turret is place high enough (in respect to the ground) so that each other turrets mounted on the Terra Dozers are able to see this primary turret. The tractors move the terrain around the field to create a very flat ground. This is particularly important to get homogeneous irrigation all around the terrain. This techniques is more and more used in rice fields (and other cultivations too), where irrigation and humidity control are the main parameters to get the most in terms of productivity and quality.
I enjoy your videos! They are very interesting, educational and very high quality. Please keep sharing with us!
Prachtige machines, mooie video!
Great film! Thanks! Lotsa $ wrapped up in FENT tractors! Looks like very good pulling power!
Nice looking machines! :) Thumbs up! :)
Prachtige video en machines!
Loving that tracked Fendt!
Wat een mooi filmpje ! En de 936 in het filmpje maakt het natuurlijk helemaal 😜

Nice! Thank you! Great, effortless pulling power.....!
Nice Video ! :)
Nice Video !!!

Awesome video !! :)))
nice video LIKE
Super :)
How much cheaper is this than using a full-featured motor grader? Or does it have another advantage, such as lower ground pressure?

Got here from farmers-worldwide.com Nice video and RUclips Channel!
Nice Martijn maar de rupsen onder de Fendt zijn Soucy niet Westtrack :)
Nice 5/5
I guess it will take deep tillage to get the land to a usable state after all of that weight has traveled over it?
Your damn right it will!
jbmbanter that's why they all have tracked equipment way less soil compaction
Thanks Billy I hadn't thought of the tracks spreading the load more than two axle big tractors.
+jbmbanter Much bigger footprint

What did they do? :O
How many acres is this farm?
Tractorspotter, the Fendt is on Soucy Tracks not West tracks.
fain
Whats the reason for needing a perfect leveled field?
CyMonVids it's mainly useful for tulip and other flower crops, the bulbs are very sensitive to water and a level field ensures all bulbs are equally wet
staalmaffia makes sense there yes! thank u:)
Hey im german
Jan Habekost i find this information very useful
Which laser brand of laser total station is used?
Sunteti fraeri
Why field leveling?
