Out of the box, they were pretty equal. It just depended on soil conditions. We pulled 3-14" with both in Drummer Silty Clay Loam. That"s pretty tough stuff! Sometimes the DC-4"s would have the front wheels off the ground. When we went to 4" pistons on the DC"s and M&W"s on the M"s, the M would out preform the DC mainly because it had an extra gear, but the DC was more user friendly (for a kid it had the hand clutch) and used less fuel. Trust me! The DC was no saint when it came to drinking! It"s just that the M with M&W"s drank more. That"s all I remember. [Reply]   [Send Email]
