I looked at a NH TC35A and TC35DA yesterday. Nice tractors. While looking under the machine, I noticed the front drive shaft was noticable smaller in diameter than the JD and Kubota. I asked the salesman about this, who told me it was not a true 4wd, but a front assist. He proceeded to tell me that the front wheels travel at a slightly faster rate than the rear wheels (when engaged) and the 4wd option is primarily for steering and not traction. This was the first time I had heard this, and am wondering if it is true.
Is this true of the NH tractors? If so, what about the other major brands. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Erik
