This tractor is used to both farm, and maintain a dirt track for stock cars. It pulls a scraper pan very well but there have been consistent problems keeping it mobile under it's own power. Been a combination of electronic controls being problematic resulting in a lot of money spent for repairs, and rodent damage to wiring. Don't know anything other than that except it blows the control fuse for the directional solenoids as soon as the keyswitch is turned to the "on" position this time. Heavy thing and just about all the 15K winch on the trailer wants without double blocking up. All six tires are filled, and there is a plethora of weights across the front and under the rear. This time it is stuck in FWD so that makes it really pull hard through more rolling resistance.
Bean harvest is in full swing right now so when I was in route to grab this tractor, I was "waved around" the portable scales the state police had set up as was empty. After loading, I certain went through the winding country roads to not get hung up in that as I didn't have my "Wide Load" kit with me for the truck, and the wheels overhang the trailer:
With farm equipment you can haul up to 12' 4" in width without permits but the equipment still needs to be flagged, bannered, and strobed for legal operation. As mentioned I didn't have my wide load "kit" with me as they didn't tell me what I was to bring back before leaving; just another dead tractor.....
