Variable Track Axle

The AxleTech Variable Track Axle is one of OEM Off-Highway's 2018 Top 10 New Products of 2018 

AxleTech partnered with RBR Enterprise, a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment, to introduce the RBR Vector 300 with variable track axles. The mechanically-driven steerable axles adjust to varying row crops in five different track widths: 114 in, 120 in, 132 in, 138 in, and 144 in. The agricultural spreader also features 4-wheel steering, allowing for tight turns in the field. The variable track axle model name is PSV1125. 

Features and benefits:

Wider axle extensions 

• 114 in, 120 in, 132 in, 138 in, and 144 in track widths allows for a full 15-inch extension per side, 150% more than the extension of competing designs.

Mechanical drive

• With just the push of a button, the vehicle can adjust to five necessary track locations, which enhances productivity when working in varying row widths.

Reduced turning radius

• Adjustable steer axles allow the vehicle to turn on a dime, reducing the turning radius in almost half.

Four-wheel steer/crab steer

• Four-wheel steer allows for increased maneuverability at the end of a pass. Crab steer allows for greater control when operating on hillsides.
