  • Installing a WIDE STANCE Kit on a Versatile Track Tractor
    In this video I am at Versatile Dealer Ziegler Cat in Wilma Minnesota as they are installing an optional WIDE STANCE kit that is available for all Versatile Delta Track Tractors. In the video I talk about the tractor and show the process of what's involved to install the kit. We also drive the tractor around the dealers lot. Hope to make it back when these tractors are running in the field.

    “and definitely the most “Versatile” content on social media today.” I see what you did there, and I like the cleverness of the plug for Versatile. Love your videos, keep up the good work!

    Interesting watching the tear down and reassembly. Coming from an automotive parts assembly plant, although a whole lot smaller parts, cool to watch. Amazing amount of time going into the wide stance package going on. Yes, if it was mounted on at the factory would possibly be helpful but, it might also complicate shipping. Quite alot wider to haul. Never realized how close the tracks came to each other in a turn. Definitely would want solid steering stops in place. Great video. Here in east central Indiana mostly Deere products. Love to see it in action.

    It's taken me a while, but these tractors are really growing on me. They scream simple functionality to me with the Cummins motor, centralized fuel tanks and the draw bar being placed in the center. The black frames on the 22's are much more attractive to me, but the 21' is also good looking. Good lookin' units!

      They say it takes 2 hours to replace a clutch in the field on a 800 Versatile. That's how simple they are and the reason these 40+ year old tractors are still doing the heavy work.

    Regardless of the brand, all those tracked machines look better with the wider stance. It really looks good on these Versatiles.

    So as a city boy - why do ya need wider stance than stock size? Also why doesn't the factory offer this option from the assembly line? Great videos, thanks.

    • @JS-1983
      @JS-1983 2 роки тому +1

      Maybe more stability when driving hills sideways and if you want that track of tractor runs in different spot than tracks/wheels of equipment like graincart in this video to spread footprint wider area, just guessing 🤔
      Thanks for great video, cool tractor 😎 Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮

      Mud. These tractors are going to a very muddy part of Minnesota. The 3 meter kit will make it easier to clean out.

  • @2010utube100
    @2010utube100 2 роки тому

    Could the kit be installed on the front or the rear only? So the tracks wouldn't run in the same line? That would lessen the compaction even more.

    I have two questions, are these the 30” tracks? Also, does the stance kit improve the ride quality?

    • @farmhandmike
      @farmhandmike  2 роки тому

      Yes these are 30 inch wide tracks and not sure on the ride being better as I have not ran one with the wide stance kit in the field yet.

    @farmhandmike my brother and I recently purchased a DT570 on our farm and we have been playing around with it and are kind of upset with how the inching pedal functions... Know of any updates that have been done to improve function at all? Thanks!

    • @farmhandmike
      @farmhandmike  Рік тому +1

      @olsem101 I left Versatile last June but do have lots of experience with this situation. For starters the first thing I would check (Dealer needs to use Cat ET). is the inching pedal duty cycle. This has to be set between 15-24% when the pedal is all the way up. This has an adjustment stop bolt under the gray plastic steering column cover. (5 screws to remove). I would set these at 18% generally. Depending on the hours of the tractor and if the transmission oil was changed the transmission may need to be calibrated again you will need Cat ET. Also these are alway worse when the transmission oil temperature is below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. I know they changed software at some point in these and I believe the dealer should have service bulletins on it but at one point they changed the software to fix an overload protection issue an in my opinion it hurt the shift quality. I believe the new software fixes this but again I don't work their anymore and don't know what they may have done since I left.

      @@farmhandmike Thanks for the info Mike! I knew you didn't work for versatile anymore, but you seem very knowledgeable on these machines! I will have to talk to my dealer about all this, we use the tractor to pull tile plow so using that inching pedal for a smooth start is key. It seems like disengages good, then once you slowly let it back up nothing happens until you reach the very top, then the tractor lunges forward. It's basically a new machine with 250ish hours on the clock, 2021 model year.
