It is getting close to that time of year again & it will be the first spring I get to try using my 45D to plow with. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif What I am wondering is if anyone has used there HST Boomers to pull a plow with. It seem most of the posts I have read dealt with people using tillers; but for us old fashion poor folks I am just wondering if there are any tips on using a hydro powered machine to pull a plow. What range can I expect to spin all four wheels in? Should my machine be capable of doing that in the high (rabbit) of low range or just low (turtle) low range. Will it increase in speed if I get things rolling in low & hit the higher range button or will things actually slow down? I have good heavy clay to turn over so I am expecting the tractor to have to work fairly hard to pull the little 2 bottom plow. Just wondering what is "normal" for these hydro trans. units before I expect too much from it. Should they always be able to spin all four wheels no matter what the traction or will the reliefe valve pop & the tires not spin if thing are too heavy & tractionable? If thy do stop spinning at some point, what is too tractionable a situation/terrain? What ranges should I be able to bury myself in while running in 4WD. (that sounds almost like it could be a fun experiment /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif) I'm sure some have you have pushed your machines to the stopping point & I am wondering what that point normally is. I'm sure this could bring out some pretty good stories.
