Dual-Tractor Unit Powers Up Farming Mobility
Two Nebraska farmers, Glen F. Bruns and Melvin Penner of Chapman, unveil a two-tractor unit by linking a John Deere 5010 and a 4010. The setup yields 190-200 drawbar horsepower, letting one operator till about 25 acres per hour with a 45-foot chisel plow, and the machines can be separated in under two hours for smaller tasks. The demonstration at Panhandle Farm Equipment and Progress Day includes a 32-foot Allis Chalmers-Jeffray chisel plow adapted to a 45-foot swath.
