anyone else notice this beast is about worthless unless it's on pavement or a road?
all it does is get stuck, at times even with the duals. even pulling only a 3 or 4 bottom plow. a tractor this size and power should be able to whiz through the soil on a baby plow like that.
it has 20.8R 38 goodyear dynatorques, which we were told would not require the duals...the tires we had on before were 18.4 38 CoOps, which were even worse. (and about as old as the tractor itself)
our 656 with 18.4 34 firestone field&roads and no duals ever runs circles around it doing fieldwork, it only gets stuck in the wet spots, and not too often. we've wasted entire days trying to unstick the big one, as it takes a couple tractors, and usually railroad ties chained to its tires. so much for productivity. any traction advice? thanks
