the 18.4's just were not a good pair of tires, not matched, and not cut. Plus, would have kept me in lower gears. No, I don't think it would have pulled 4th consistantly, would have to be an awful loose track, right at 80 hp, so 3rd had a decent ground speed, for the HP, engine rpm, and tire size. It has a very heavy front end, with 3 75lbs weights and 5 gal of gas on the nose, the front end weighed 1400lbs. Just a bit heavy by 200lbs, to be able to balance it better. and at the end of the run, it did not even offer to pick up the front end off the ground. Just spun out. 20ft behind the rest, LOL, At this time, if it would be legal to pull,, a great div 3 tractor, in 3500-4500. I would have to say, that the front end would need to be changed to a lighter, homemade front end, and get rid of the 250+lb upper bolster. First runs with new machines, can be tricky, always seem to get better with time, and tuning the chassis. Just my opinion of the first run fo the 460H. Chad
