Allan: I guess I am one of the guys of which you speak. Let me assure you I know how to use tractor brakes in turning as well as the best of them. You are taking what I said completely out of context. I was in no way refering to my ability to handle a tractor, when I told you about duals and steering problems. I was pointing out to you that 4 wheel drive and particularly articulated 4 wheel are far more efficient and cost effective when you get into 100 plus hp tractors. That is precisely why all these old 1066, 1466, 1086, etc. are sitting around with few hours and selling for $4,000. to $6,000. That is precisely what they are worth to commercial agriculture. You may not realize this but there is one awful big difference between a 966 and a 1066. 966 put out the rated hp for the most part. Most 1066's came from factory turning 150 plus. I rebuilt brakes and front end on my 1066 every year, and at the end of every year the crap was beat out of them. I also had an articulated unit, about same weight and power, one set of center swing bushings in 13,000 hours, and no front end rebuilds nor were the brakes ever apart. I'd offer you a tractor driving challange as I did George Willer close to two years ago, but for one reason old George at 72 was worthy of it, I'm not sure you are.
