Is it possible for a tractor to have limited slip?

Please, just Cyril.
I like the idea of duels for side stability. I look at my tractor in my avitar and can't help thinking that it should be able to handle one heck of a side slope. Haven't tried it yet. Figure I'll wait until this summer.
I read some of the threads where someone has reversed their rears to gain a few inches and giggle to myself.:ashamed:

That sounds exciting! I look forward that that for sure.
Maybe you can use something hard to move, like a tree, instead of immovable, like my BX.
I was actually trying to push over a tree last summer when it was digging the holes. I was figuring on trying the same tree again.:laughing:

I love threads like this. If all the opinions about how differentials work were true there would be a dozen varieties of differentials in existance. But in my world a differential is a differential and all are made alike. Planetaries are planetaries and all are made alike. Sun gears are Sun gears and all are made alike. And on and on and on.... :laughing:
P.S. The spinning tire doubles the speedometer reading. The speedometer is measuring driveshaft speed. When one tire is sitting still the driveshaft speed is doubled to the other tire by the spider gears.

No, they are not all alike, but in general the concept is the same. For all intents and purposes, they are kind of the same. Implementations of the limited-slip/locker do vary greatly sometimes. But the idea of a differential are the same.
How limited slip is implemented -- via a differential limited-slip/locker/etc. or ABS controlling each wheel via brakes -- certainly can come in many forms, varying drastically.
If both wheels are turing at the same rate and the RPM of those wheels are x, then one of the wheels is stopped... the other wheel's RPM will increase (assuming the drive shaft is turning at the same rate). I believe it is 2x.

Sounds like a truck I once had... no matter how much I worked on it I couldn't get it to move.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

It was bait, and you bit.
If I had Cyrils tractor, I could use it to store my BX on a shelf somewhere, for easier floor sweeping. The BX fights hardest when backed into a corner, and if the corner is two large oak trees, it is virtually immovable, yet collapseable for convenience.

I know what you mean.
At 2800 lbs, my L275 is a lightweight. If I had bigger tractor, I'd just get into bigger trouble.
