I've seen some mighty big combine harvesters, but I've never seen one on tracks. Tractors on tracks, yes.

- bluGill 4y agoTracks are an option when buying a combine. I'm not sure how popular, but they are a factory option.
- wolverine876 4y agoWhy not on harvesters?
- floren 4y agoI don't know. Googling, I was able to come up with some examples, but I've never seen them in real life despite growing up in a farming community. My speculation: you only harvest in dry weather (so traction differences don't matter), and harvesting goes faster than say tilling, so maybe tires are preferred. You'll also see big fleets of combines going down the road to the next field; I think tracked vehicles are frowned upon on public roads.
