Is the -15 the ecconomy version? Don't see many of them up here. With normal common sense, you should be fine. The 3pt arms are built a little more for pulling than pushing - just natural for steel to bend if you shock it too much. When you push like that, the arms are getting all the momentum of the tractor on any shock load. There are some models of (I think the newer Boomer style) Fords that got real weak lower arms. I hear of those bending quite a bit. Some bean counter musta forgot their tractors have a reverse in them & tried to save too many beans on weak arms - strong enough for the pulling hp, but not enough beef in them. But I think your machine is old enough to not have those.... --->Paul Follow Ups: Re: Re: Ford New Holland 1715 Pete 17:03:05 11/20/04 (2) Re: Re: Re: Ford New Holland 1715 paul 21:31:13 11/29/04 (1) Re: Re: Re: Re: Ford New Holland 1715 Pete 18:34:35 02/26/05 (0) Post A Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Re: Re: Ford New Holland 1715 Comments: Optional Link URL: Link Title: Optional Image URL: Email Notification: If you check this box, email will be sent to you whenever someone replies to this message.
