I'm not understanding the "Snake" comment. If you had ever driven a 2+2 you would have seen the front and rear tires pretty much followed the same path on turns. I ran a White 4-180 for a week disking up flooded out corn patches, lots of turning, and only pulling a 14 ft disk the turns were at higher speeds. First day my sides hurt bad when I got out of that tractor, second. day I figured I'd pee blood that night. 3rd day I slowly turned the steering wheel, no pains in my side. 2+2 would not jerk you side-to-side. Also the Case 2470 I ran for a week steered nice and smooth, had 28Lx26 tires, floated across the field chisel plowing. The 8440 Deere I ran for the landlord jerked, but I was pulling the Glenco Soil-Saver that was 2-Shanks too big so slow I didn't need to jerk the wheel.
Most 2+2's only had duals on the rear, the Kimco axle on the frt was a little light duty for that big of tractor, plus with 4 duals, on sharp turns the outside tires on the inside of turns could lock lugs which kinda tore things up eventually. Stationary, a 2+2 had most of it's weight up front, working, pulling, or with something on 3-pt weight was closer to 50-50 frt to back. All by Design!
