The not-so-great British weather – are narrow tracks the solution?

18th February 2024

With the increase of rainfall across the UK, we thought we’d take a dive into all the ways narrow tracks can help you in conditions like these.

Months of persistent wet weather can be devastating for farmers. And with spring just around the corner, it’s important that you’re prepared if a wet winter becomes a wet spring.

The Soucy narrow track has countless benefits when it comes to working in these conditions and is perfect for ensuring our efficiency remains high when the weather is unpredictable.

Four times as much ground contact area than tyres of a comparable width, increases floatation and improves the traction of your machine. In turn, this lowers the average amount of pressure exerted onto the ground. Even in wet and muddy conditions, this reduces sinking, limits rut formation and reduces slippage by up to 10%! Therefore, allowing you to continue working when conditions aren’t suitable for tyres, not to mention saving time and money spent levelling fields.

Furthermore, increased floatation and improved traction also allows tramlines to be narrower and load capabilities to be greater, maximising your yield potential.

Soucy narrow tracks have countless benefits that can improve your farming quality and efficiency in all weather conditions. If you want to find out more about the potential of narrow tracks, please get in touch.

Combatting the wet weather can be an arduous feat for British farmers, but the Soucy narrow track is for sure a top contender in this battle.
