I was at my old man's today and was doing some plowing with the MD and the Oliver 3 bottom plow. I decided to hook the 77 to it since it hasn't been worked in a few years. Well it went about 10 feet after I triped the plow, and just started spinning it's wheels. I was braking to keep wheels even, but it didn't help.
The MD has NO wheel weights, and NO fluid in tires. The 77 has 2 wheel weights on each back wheel, and no fluid.
Now I know tractor data is not the best for information. That's why I'm asking you guys. Both tractors are very close in HP. But what do they weigh?
According to tractor data the MD is 4858 LBS, and the 77 is 4700 LBS. Like I said, I know tractor data is off on alot of info. But why would the MD plow all day without spinning, and the 77 just dig the tires in the ground. Is there that much weight difference? Thanks, Doug N
