Hydrostatic or Gear - Which is better?

[Anonymous Poster]

Hi Mark, /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

[[[When do we get to read more about the "weight studies"?]]]

It'll be awhile I'm afraid. Got a lot going-on right now (not the least of which is that my JD4700 "SUPERBABY" is finally home, with some other nice toys /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif ).

I want to take time to give some meaning to the stats.
The front/rear weight distribution with different implement-combinations, ...longitudinal center-of-gravity shifts, relative effects of additional ballasting etc., are some of the related topics I'll offer some thoughts on.

Hopefully some useful conclusions can be reached for their own needs, by "general" tractor guys, ... and I'm looking to hear some feedback from the "detail-geeks" among us /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif .

If it ends-up taking me longer than I plan, I'll try to remember to give you a personal "heads-up" when I post it.

Yeah, Jim, you got a little head start on me, and I'll have to admit my Margaret has shown a lot of patience to put with me this long.

Just goes to show that teenage marriages do work. I was twenty and Margie had just turned fifteen when we tied the knot.

Some do, some don't . . . . just like older folks' marriages./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Gordon, I would respectfully disagree about one no longer being a newlywed because of a certain amount of time having gone by. IMHO, a newlywed is one who's honeymoon has yet to end. For some couples, the honeymoon ends before it gets started, and for others, it is still going strong after 50 or more years!!

Scruffy, very good point and I stand corrected. Never thought of it that way I guess. Now that I have, you are correct! But I was just funnin Harv alittle bit you know./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Gordon,
Understood Sir! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Besides, Harv's an easy one to 'fun'! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif I shall let you get back to the more SERIOUS business of funnin' Harv! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Hmmmmmm... I thought I was in the business of funnin' everybody else. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Like they say, what goes around comes around. Now let's see -- what if I send a few of you $5, and you do the same but also send me a buck, as would the ones you contact ...

hey guys: HARV is going to send us all $5 . me and the LOVELY MRS, have been hitched for 38 big ones. i have her convinced that the new kubota was worth all the money i spent, because it will be easier for an ol guy like me to do stuff around the property. now i have to do it. so i will just fire up the orange devil and put a smile on my face{smile]
