central - east central Minnesota - | rank - 2/9/2016 14:40 I know LOTS of guys hate the 2+2 for various reasons but I have a question about durability and the ability to pull without wrecking something in the rear end or snapping one of those spindly axles. Who has actually grenaded the innards and what model of 2+2 was it (i.e was it the 12 speed or 18 speed trans model)? . Several of the above posters are using the 2+2 just the way it ISN'T supposed to . . . . As a higher horse power 4x4 big frame heavy tillage tractor . . .. . 2+2's were meant for row crop work and the same tillage as the 986 and 1086's and maybe the 1486's. So when guys used them, with turned up pumps (more hp then designed for) and as big frame heavy tillage tractors, well, bad things happened to rear ends and transmissions. . . . . They were not meant to have duels, per say, and of course duels were needed because the pumps were turned up and had more Horse power. . . . . . |
