Several of you on here are dubious to say the least about FWA on a row crop tractor. In fact, I think I recall it being compared to mammory glands (not being able to say the proper word kinda castrates the phrase, doesn't it?) on a boar at one point. Well, I'm here to lay it all to rest. I was running a 30 foot field cultivator at 5.5 mph on the 8110 today. This tractor is equipped with 8 suitcase weights on front, duals, and fluid in the tires. I'd say the rubber is 80-90%. It is also equipped with all the toy gizmos that a boy loves including a gauge for percent slip. With FWA engaged, the percent slip was 7-10%. Just for giggles, I switched off the FWA and % slip shot up to 25-30%. There was a very percieved loss of power and speed. Based on this information, I hope you will all profusely apologize to those of us that claimed FWA is a worthwile investment :-P
