RIGHT ON Hugh! Back in the "Old Days" when I spent countless hours on 4010's & 4020's (Neighborhood was mostly Green) some WFE, some NFE, I developed a habit of jerking the steering wheel because the front wheels wouldn't turn the tractors because of weight transfer when pulling...and duals really made them hard to steer. Dad's old NFE 450 was really prone to plowing in the frt end when discing plowed ground! One week I helped My Buddy's Dad replant some wet spots in corn fields, stirred-up irregular shaped spots with a 4-180 White articlulated tractor pulling a 14 ft disc. After the first day my sides were so sore it was like someone punched Me in the kidneys ALL DAY. I had to learn how to drive all over again! Back in about 1980 one of the co-owners of ELWOOD MFG. that made the FWA axle for Farmall told Me a 75-80 HP FWA tractor was going to be the "Tractor of the Future". I thought at the time that was WAY too small for most cropping situations, but would make a great chore tractor. Fact is most new tractors of that size now are FWA proves He was right. VERSATILE made an articlualated 4 WD with 3-point hitches on both ends that was popular in that size as well. I think New Holland still makes it. Even IH was close to the mark with their 2+2's. Rumor has it C/IH/NH may be bringing the idea back again. There's a limit to how much HP You can put to the ground thru a tire without compacting it.

"It's a tough little tractor, although it's a hard starter being a diesel and all." He did manage to get it running, compliments of a can of ether. Once started it putted along pretty good. It
