Several of you on here are dubious to say the least about FWA on a row crop tractor. In fact, I think I recall it being compared to mammory glands (not being able to say the proper word kinda castrates the phrase, doesn't it?) on a boar at one point.

Based on this information, I hope you will all profusely apologize to those of us that claimed FWA is a worthwile investment :-P
