john in la said: (quoted from post at 22:01:59 03/16/08) Duals are good for 3 things. Flotation; traction; and breaking axles.[/quote:0f7d08d9d3]
Pretty much every tractor that ever saw field duty in ND where I grew up had/has duals. Never heard of a broken axle in my life. I suppose if you were adding weights to the duals, along with severly uneven ground where the entire weight of the tractor was on the dual alone it's a possibility.
[quote:0f7d08d9d3="JoeBob/IN"](quoted from post at 18:46:40 03/16/08)That reminds me, most tractors are rated to pull implements at about 5 mph and above. If it can't, with the exception of the implement being the hold up, then you need a bigger horse. Look in the manual, probably in there somewhere. WOW! That took up a lot of time and space!
In the manual for our JD 4450 it clearly states not to have a maximum pull under 4 (or 4.5) mph or damage will result.
