farmer 1,075 #1 Posted April 1, 2011 Will a rusty hood, impede my speed, or will the lost of weight through lack of paint, have me speeding along just great? Oohh happy day. :wh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #2 Posted April 1, 2011 The ruff surface of the rust will cause a wind drag, clean waxed shiny paint is best for top speed, you might even get a full 9 MPH with a good slick wax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sorekiwi 761 #5 Posted April 1, 2011 Making sure the exhaust pipe exits to the rear is good for a bit of straight line speed, 1 mph on an Onan powered tractor. Turf tires have more drag than Ags as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
