Now that you mention the track type vehicle I realized that the landscape contractors on my projects use Bobcat type tracked loaders rather than wheel tractors.

Good point - half tracks. They used to be not uncommon for tractors. Years ago the mailman even had a Model A with half-tracks on the back and skis on the front for winter use.
My distaste for overweighting the front end with a front wheel assist tractor stems from front axle rebuilds due to wearout. That is not what I'm hearing from you here. You will improve your performance.

From what you are saying, it sounds like it would be best to run our tractors in 2wd most of the time? Seems like a lot of us leave it in 4wd.
If most of the tractors have the fronts going faster than the rears, wouldn't that tear up the grass when in 4wd setting since the front and rears are fighting each other?
