Hi,

I'm looking for a tractor to pull a transplanter and have heard 990's have a couple of really low, slow gears. I have seen a few for sale, besides looking rough they have some really fat tires. I need to have less than 13.6" wide tires to straddle my vegetable beds, and they need to be set at 5 foot centers. Can this be done on a 990 standard wheels, or would I have to jury rig it? Any 990's in decent shape out there?

Thanks for any help!

Paul

Elmer would be the man to ask , but in my area, there are several 990's which have been adapted to cultivate ginzing beds and have very,very narrow tires and wheel centres.

hi Jim,

Thanks for the response. How do I get in touch with Elmer? Are you in WI, I remember seeing a lot of ginseng there.

Paul - Elmer's email is [email protected]
Both Elmer and I live in Ontario. Ginseng is being grown in Norfolk County as a replacement crop for tobbacco which is very much in decline.
Tractors are modified by using 42"narrow rear tires and modifying the front spindles in order to raise the fronts accordingly. Ginseng has been grown there for at least 50 yrs. that I'm aware of.
