  • High field speed – for low soil compaction
  • Row crop tires – for spreading in row crops

 

 

Diagonal steer

Offset track driving ensures that each surface is rolled over only once. Each wheel has its own track and the four wheels of equal size make the weight evenly distributed. This consistently prevents soil damage from compaction. Given the large contact surfaces of the tires in the diagonal steer, load and traction force are transmitted over a wide surface area - with optimal slip values at the same time. This is how real soil preservation works.

 

The Terra Variant 585 steering modes:

  • All-wheel steering – for maximum manoeuvrability
  • Automatic steer left/right – for rolling over wide areas and stable driving behaviour on side slopes
  • Four-wheel steering – for making only one set of tracks on a headland
