I would assume momentum and RPM's make a big difference for the trator pullers and would account for those 200% numbers. The 4020 is supposed to weigh about 8,865#. According to the Nebraska test 849, it pulled 115% of its weight. Considering that running my tractor in 2wd would be comparable; then it might pull 8,855#. That makes sense to me, being that I wouldn't expect to outpull a 4020 in 2wd. The cable is part of a block and tackle setup to pull some stumps. Pulley to pulley; and pulley to tractor lengths will only be about 10-12ft; so I think(hope) that takes some of the danger out of it. I appreciate everyone's input. There are so many variables, from the wire rope's age to the tractor's power distribution to the ground on different soils. I'll take all the safety precautions I can and hook to it in a few days and see what happens. Hopefully, I'll be back to tell you what happens!
