I have heard they are designed to slip under extreme conditions. There is potential to have an extreme amount of weight on the front axle if a person is pushing into a pile while lifting at the same time. If a clutch doesn't slip something else will have to give as the tires might not be able to spin with that much weight on them. If a person wants to use a loader tractor that hard he is probably better off buying a payloader instead.
X100. If the newer tractors slip the MFWD clutch under extreme conditions, consider that a plus. A friend of mine with a 7410 was trying to push out a stump with his loader. He was on a blacktop road, and had the bucket hooked under the stump. Rear end off the blacktop. Put the tractor in a low gear and let out the clutch. One of the MFWD hubs went to pieces. Cost a couple grand to replace with a used/reman unit. I got to do the work. |
