(ET) Tractor Pulls

["Pieter Litchfield" <plitch attglobal net>]

Here's a tip based on some hill climbing and racing experience.  If you are thinking about dedicating a tractor to pulling, open up the rear end and weld the differential spider in place.  You now have a solid rear axle and two wheels driving rather than one.

 

If there is a rule against this or you want to preserve the differential for lawn work, it might be possible to mount a brake drum on each rear wheel and at least be able to transfer power manually from the spinning wheel by applting the brake to it.

 

Just a thought.....
