Re: If I could , I would give my tractor more.....

JJT, I'm curious, I have an L3710 HST with R4's and I haven't been in a situation yet where I couldn't spin the tires. When you were pulling the 10 wheeler what range were you in? what RPM? what type of surface were you on?

Maximum RPM's, low range, 4 wheel drive, diff locked, on a hard packed clay surface. I have loaded tires, FEL and box scraper, (6000#). The 10 wheeler had a 15 yard, (25 ton) load of #1 stone.

I've pulled many loaded 1 ton dumps out of the mud without breaking a sweat, not so with the 10 wheeler.

Robert,
What you want is a B27-2910! I thought my B8200 was perfect until I got my B2710! It is a B8200 with a flat deck and more power. You just need to upgrade and you will be all set!

JJt,

I have FEL and loaded tires also (just water) but I've always been traction limited. What air pressure are you using in the tires? I've dropped my rears down to 12 psi and they look like they could go lower but I'm a little nervous about going too low.

I run 15# in the rears and 20# in the front unless I'm doing dedicated FEL work, then I air up to 30# in the front. I agree, it looks like the rears could go lower, if you chalk the tires the outer/inner 2+" are not in contact with the pavement.

Von,
I have thought about it... But, I would have to sell the B8200 and the Farmall to get money for a new one. I'm not ready to do that yet /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Robert, I sold mine for almost as much as I paid for the B2710.

Just got back from my neighbors house, he got a nice 6 pt. with the bow today! I have been out alot and have seen some nice bucks, but nothing good close enough to shoot. Gun season starts in 2 weeks so I have to stop being so picky and fill the freezer!

BX 2200, first thing would have to be a tach, no problem with power, filled tires, all four with antifreeze, ( i know the manual says to not fill front tires.) can spin the tires any time. another thing i changed was that thing they call a drawbar, took it off and mounted a 2 in receiver and a hitch ball on a 5 in rise to pull small trailer. i keep telling the wife i'm getting a bike rack for the back.
