Engineer on May 03, 2001 at 07:43:07: The three biggest things that people don't understand are percent of slip, weight ratio front/rear axels, and tire pressure. One farmer in our area rented an 8100 and 8400. he was very disappointed when the 81 out pulled the 84. Went out to take a look and the 84 had ten more psi in each tire than the 81, and all the weight was on the back wheels none on the front, once we adjusted weight and tire psi the 84 smoked the 81 like it should have, just goes to show what happens when a tractor is adjusted properly and wheel slip is used Follow Ups: Re: Re: Comparing Tractors Scott B 06:34:07 05/09/01 (1) Re: Re: Re: Comparing Tractors Ag.
