The tractors operate on 3 metre centres in order to fit into the Goodings farming operation for cotton and application work. The front axles have been extended by Widetract in Toowoomba rather than using cotton reels which are heavier wearing on the front hubs and planetary sets. The tractors are equipped with 710/75R42 tyres and Tom says, “I can get all the power to the ground with the 710 tyres, I keep the Fendt tractor lightweight to reduce soil compaction, increase field performance and output, with the wider tyres you can run a low pressure which ensures good performance.”
B&B Machinery in Toowoomba maintain and service the tractors for the Goodings, Tom says, “The service is excellent from B&B Machinery and they know the Fendt product inside out.”
