2015 Tire Fluid Question

oldpilgrim · Jan 28, 2016

It is my belief that loaded tires are the most innocuous weighting to be done to a tractor. Why? Because loaded tires are considered "unsprung weight" and as a result, have less degradation impact than greater weight transfers such as 3 pt ballasting provides.

well said.

I believe I had already done so by giving "dynamic applied terms" as examples. As far as "disclosure" do you mean such as Chrysler failed to do for consumers when they thought to save money and weight by eliminating 1/3rd of the gear set in their transmissions in the early 90's? It was imperative that one did not go from reverse to drive while the car was still moving backward. This was never stated in customer manuals as they did not want to come across as a company that would "inconvenience" drivers with that little detail. 1 out of 5 transmissions failed with this "engineering. Do you know what the fix was? Not that anyone would get a new tranny. Oh no, dealerships were sent an entire array of gears and spacers and shims to rebuild them. What was sent was exactly what was already in the transmissions in the first place. Way to go to build consumer confidence.

It's like when JD made the 3032-38E series almost entirely out of plastic along with aluminum gear housings to do what? Save weight so the tractors would not be stressed? To compare what these tractors were replacing in how well built the 50, 70 and 90 series tractors were and later the 3 and 4 double oughts, was a sin in my book.. I wouldn't want to disclose anything about those thought processes either if I were them..

In my mind, this thread is moving toward the ludicrous.
