Leesburg, Ohio | Did not watch the video, and do not know about their tractors, but to your comment about the logic of pulling the plow with a front wheel assist instead of an articulated (if I understand that correctly), we do the same thing. We have the tile plow set up on an 8530 front wheel assist with ILS and IVT. I would love to pull it with our Deere 9330 4WD, but the main reason we use the 8530 is the IVT transmission. It is so nice to be able to dial it back to barely moving to start out of the hole. And it just seems to pull better at 1mph or less. Most full size 4WDs have a low gear that goes no less than 1.5 to 2 mph. IMHO, that is way too fast for a tile plow designed to run behind a farm tractor. We used to pull the plow with a Cat 75 challenger. It would go 1.7 at about 1700 rpm. Any slower, and it would get under the power curve and stall the engine. I understand most of the newer red artics de rate in low gear. So, it makes perfect sense to me to run it on a fwa. | |
