Locking a 8 speed

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

I have been considering locking the trans (by pairing the pinions) on a worker C 165 I use for pulling a plow, disc and cultivator in the field.  This is fairly open ground and I think it would help quite a bit to have the extra traction.  Obviously I'm not worried about tearing up the grass and this would be a dedicated tractor for ground engagement.

 

My question - those who have done this, was the improvement in traction substantial?  I know I will at times loose my "line" and I'm fine with that but I'm tired of getting stuck and having to lift the attachment - especially when the first two to three inches gets broken up and the traction is reduced.

 

Please share experiences if you have had one locked.

 

Thanks, Brandon

It will work ok in a straight line - good luck with turning!  I think your turn radius will be huge...

:twocents-02cents:               I would think that wheel weights and a set of chains would do a world of good!
