I have an F20 and F30 and have been mulling over how to do what you're thinking about. An inherent problem with these tractors is that they are geared to high, i.e., you run out of power before you run out of traction. For the F30, high altitude pistons are available, but scarce, but would increase the compression. For the f20, I don't know if high altitude pistons are available, but I am told that you could mill the head thereby increasing the compression. There was also a super low gear called a "cornbinder low" for the F20 which would make it a better puller. I have wheel weights for both my 20 and 30 and if you have these and run only about 6 lbs. of air, it really does make a difference, even without any motor enhancements. Good luck. Let me know how you make out. BTW, what are your tire sizes? That's a factor too.
