Hmmmm Flat belt, rubber, around and around. Soulds like a Van De Graff generator!:Drobinson46176 wrote:We get into some static situations on the farm. When driving some machinery with large flat belts (not so common any more) a static charge will build up in a rubber tired tractor. It was not a problem when they were on steel. The solution was to either hang a log chain from the tractor and letting it hang down on the earth. Also common was to lean a steel bar or fence post up against the tractor.
A lot of farmers drag a short piece of chain from the rear axle of a self propelled combine and claim that it reduces fuzzy dust clinging to the cab glass.
