Grizzly wheel track renovator not perfect but it’s pretty bloody good.

Last bit of summer 2026 harvest done. Long season started 27th Jan.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

Finally finished our sorghum. A season of good the bad and the straight up ugly. But it’s in the bin. About 900ha of contracting left to go.

@GribbleRC Easy, just not in this stuff🤦‍♂️.Bit hard thrashing taking fair bit of leaf.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

Never gets old

@thebigperc What’s your thoughts on it does it actually work, cost effective?

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

@ipaddockapps Brother inlaw is a sparky, installs chargers and so on, got curious with his boss so sat down did the numbers. 16-17l per 100k with no load or towing.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

@ipaddockapps 2/2 and for every other job chaser bin, kelly chain, speed till at 18k we leave it as is. Haven’t seen any adverse tire wear but every bit or traction to the ground. It’s actually pretty impressive to watch in person the load transfer as the implement in gauges the ground.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

@ipaddockapps Should add to first comment. 900’s at 14psi. Fully weighted to do heavy draft work 40ft ripper 30in spacing 7.5-8k bugger all wheel slip. Front weights are on 3pt linkage so we drop them off, leave the rear weights on behind the cab. Winter planting is done at 18k. 1/2

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

@ipaddockapps Wheels. Had jd 9470rx tracks don’t like speed cause the of temperature.
Have a claas xerion 540hp on 900’s pulls far better than the tracked machines we’ve used.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

Going to be a long sorghum harvest, spread out crop stages.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

@Paul_WeedSmart Not going too bad, was pre watered then grew on in crop rain high 8’s. Think with the scattered storms it’s going to be a very up and down year. Some crops look amazing some definitely missed the rain.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

Sorghum has started. Less then 6 weeks ago we were harvesting winter crop.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

Strip till here we come. Can see the results of using current gear so something bit more suited for the job I don’t think we can go wrong.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

@congreve_mark 73%, 3bar 50l speed not sure around 24-25 at that time. To watch it from the cab all looks like it’s pulsing the same time nice pattern.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

But going on there. PWM

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

@Doctor_650 3 section reel? It was for the flex to keep the fingers close to the knife. Need to do it to the 40ft as well, or all the flex fronts.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

Macdon FD2 61. It’s a beautiful thing. Costs yea, but so good when it comes to efficiency and throughput.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

Weather isn’t playing the game but we’re still moving forward.

[Lance Wise @lance123wise]

Sorghum finally all in. Harvest still rolling along, but we are going to get wet on Friday and over the weekend for sure.
