Just wondering if anyone knows the scientific reason for the occurrence of pucker factor?
If I were to guess (I'm sure I'm totally wrong), I'd guess the weight starts to shift from the uphill side to the downhill side of the tractor at a faster rate. This puts less weight on the uphill side of the tractor and more weight on the downhill side of the tractor causing the tractor to shift ever so slightly. This shift is noticeable to a person.
If someone were to drive with one side of the tractor tires loaded and the other side unloaded sideways on a hill, would the pucker factor change based on whether the loaded side was uphill or downhill?
