Last I heard, the antique pull circuit in Alberta has capped Class 6 (heaviest class) at 12,000 lbs with driver on. My Oliver 990 is sitting at 12,800 right now, with me on. So I have to lose 800 lbs. Rear tires are 2/3 to 3/4 full of fluid, front tires are almost right full of fluid. I know the 990 tends to pull up in the front under a heavy pull, so my thought was to take 800 lbs of fluid out of the back. Leave the front heavy, hopefully draft will work in my favor and give me more traction than having that fluid in the back. I'm curious what the rest of you guys think. Any constructive ideas considered.
I think the Deere guys had their hands in making this new weight cap. They know I can't back off the throttle to hook up to the ground better without dropping out of my power band. :evil:
Oh yeah, and me going on a diet just isn't gonna happen! :mrgreen:
