When Gilles Soucy, the founder of Soucy, was working in his fields, he wondered how it might be possible to improve the quality of his soil. Inspiration came in 2005 and quickly grew into a major project: offering durable and high-performance track systems for farm equipment. He knew that farmers would love this solution; their land is so important to them. They would be able to access their fields when the timing is right for them, while minimizing the harmful impact of heavy machinery on their soil and crops. A lot of things can be expected from a track system and here are some benefits.

Access to your field at all time

You will have consistent, trouble-free access to your fields. No matter the conditions, you

can work when you want to, with no fear of damaging your soil or your crops. You can expect to have a consistent access to your fields. A track system can work in any field condition both wet or dry. The easy to install ST-032 for trailers can be modified for

various types of trailers and equipment, so you can use it on a planter in the spring and a grain trailer in the fall, whatever the soil conditions are.

Time saved

The simplified maintenance of the S-TECH 1000X means less downtime and more time to work in the fields. With the oil bath hubs and clear caps, daily greasing is not necessary. The  pared-down undercarriage makes it easier to remove mud and debris, cutting down on cleaning time. This means you can make the most of narrow work windows and cut down on lost time.

More flotation to prevent yield loss

Research has shown that compaction can cause yield loss of over 40%, regardless of crop type. With nearly five times less ground pressure than tires, the track system ST-1000 for combine offers the advantage of significantly increasing flotation to be able to move through waterlogged soil. You can expect to get in the field without risk of getting stuck. Do not let bad weather wipe out months of hard work and harvest when the time is right.

There are things that can be controlled on a farm operation. However, the weather and challenging harvest conditions are not parts of it. If Mother Nature is not on your side, there is a way to be ready to work with her and be more productive. By installing Soucy track systems, it will bring productivity to another level.
