If the JD had fairly tight clutch linkage, it would be easy to "stop on a dime"..two feet, one on each brake just as you jerk the clutch lever..no problem. I saw a guy with a JD G at a antique tractor pull try going up on three planks about 14 inches wide onto a full height straight truck just as the rain started. Everyone including the driver was running around getting their loads ready, when this dude tryed to charge up those planks in second or third gear, rain making the planks slippery and he spun out about half way up. He slid backward, then let it roll backward and tryed again, this time successfully. I could not watch him anymore, looked the other way...what if the tractor slipped off the planks sideways when he was about 3-4 feet off the ground? Gives me the shudders every time I think about it. The planks were not tied together and the there wasn't enough loading ramps available, just a straight truck sitting in a grassy field. Leonard.
