I will add to what jm is saying. All Front wheel assists need three things to be successful. Ability to turn (the sharper the better). Ability to hold the tractor's power with out damaging stress on its parts. and the ability to match the speed of the travel in a straight line as well as around corners. Planetary drives allow the drive shafts and joints to be turning faster and thus smaller to conduct the same power. Non planetary setups use far heavier drive lines and robust joints. The matching of ground speed is usually pretty good but not perfect for either setup. Some older assists could only use certain tillage gears in use. My opinion is that the best systems do all three tasks well. and poor systems fail miserably. Research the ones you consider and choose wisely. Jim
