Use a gear-drive tranz for pulling - preferably an 8 speed with the 8 pinion differential.

The parasitic loss and relief valves in the hydro units make them virtually worthless at competitive pulling in their stock form.

For the sake of this discussion, C-160 & C-161 models use the same transaxles.

Definitely use the 8 speed transaxle both of those tractors should have the 8 pinion in them if they havent had the transaxles changed.

A freind tried using a C195 with 26 12 12 tires for pulling What a joke the 12hp gear drives could pull the sled farther. Wasn't anything wrong with his hydro either I still have it

i like mine for tilling too,you can choose just the right speed,its also a bonus for the hydro lift,a real bonus for all the attachments,especially the dozer plow
