Yould have to read posts 29,41,61 in this thread to see why the info in that thread is appropriate. And to get the info in that thread, of course, you have to read it.

You are talking about JB's link right? 29 and 41 don't say much. and there is no post 61. There are only 50 posts. What am I missing?

All this leading and lagging reminds me of an electrical course or a maybe life where some folks lead and I lag cause I can't figure out whats the hurry to get there cause were all gonna get there given time!:D :D

Or maybe it's because I've got short legs and walk slow?:confused: :confused:

BTW, I think I'm going to convert my tractor to 4wd with a 3.78941 lead ratio. Any thoughts?

Why so conservative? You don't want to have to sneak up on the optimum solution in stepwise refinements.

I'd recommend a bit over 5.0 and save a few iterations.

Egon: Leading and lagging... ELI the ICE man!!!

Ahh see what a great site!! Going 5 or better means I can get more life out of those fronts before they wear to much and the 4wd becomes totally useless. :D

Now see larry this isn't funny, you forgot the :D on the previous post indicating you were funnin around. Usually your posts are full of technical info that requires your thought and time to type. I don't think we'd expect a joke. My wife does this sometimes...she'll make a joke (we're not sure) and me and my 15yo and 18yo will look at her like we are looking at a stump. Mom doesn't make jokes...usually...so we don't laugh because it might be real. Not worth the risk of upsetting momma!! You know the old saying, momma sneezes and the rest of us catch a cold!!

I'll be on my guard next time you rascal!! :D

Rob, How about an aftermarket accessory that is an electronically controlled lock with a USB interface that prevents putting the lever into 4wd position. Then if you are in a situation where 4wd might be considered, you post your situation on TBN and if the GODS of all things tractor then concur by majority vote you download the code into a dongle and attach it to the lock to open it. The lock automatically locks if the tractor is shut off or 30 min passes, whichever comes first.

This removes your self doubt as to when/if to employ 4wd and ensures you only do it when it is politically correct.

Of course if you don't mind modifying the stock tractor, you can remove the lever and put it under lock and key. The truly brave and mechanically inclined may opt to remove front wheel drive components and hang them on the back of the tractor as ballast to improve the FEL capabilities.

Maybe they were talking about lead, instead of lead. :D

Wife is 5'4", I'm 6'2. She's constantly telling me to walk slower. So I take smaller steps, then she says I look funny taking smaller steps. I tell her if I took regular steps and walked at her speed I'd lose my balance and fall over!! Yeah, I got a purple nerple on that one! :D 9:57...getting close!!
