I believe you were refering to me Paddock yes my hatred for the R-4 is well known and my tractor spends 90% of its life in fwd and alot of time in the mud pulling logs. But to me there is nothing better than a clay loaded R-4 that won't clean itself out. So then what happens next if your not very very careful=== your stuck.
Alot of the jobs I get have a timeframe and I must finish it so I can't always wait for better ground conditions to come around I wish I could. I tried to skid a few logs with a tractor that had R-4s and couldn't believe how poor they were but with a good set of loop chains over them they might have done a fine job.
Something else that has to be considered is that there are many different uses for a tractor and also many different climates to take into consideration on this board. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I know what works for me in my area./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
Just wish I had a set of radials.
