Sponz: I personally think articulated is the wave of the future. I farmed with a Farmall 1066 two wheel drive with duals. I also had a John Deere 540A forestry skidder, about 100 hp, 6 cylinder turbo. 8 speed power shift, same basic chassis as the 7520 just less horses. I never dualed it as I felt it didn't have enough engine, for the added traction. I did a lot of disking with that unit. My opinion these articulated tractors are much more economical on the repair side. You dual a tractor like a 1066 for tillage work, and it will beat the crap out of the front end, put 4 wheel drive unit on there, and you have a lot of moving parts to keep up.

My only problem looking at specs of the 4366 or 86, you are taxing that 466 just a bit too heavy if you equip it with 20.8x38 duals. If you look at most of the big articulateds today, they are being equiped with 600 plus cubic inch engines. This item of matching you engine to your rubber on the ground is not new. Just go back to the SA, 100 versus SC, 200; that little engine lasted a whole lot more hours on the 24 inch tires.
