Hill Climbing Primer

The Dragster wheels spin up right now. Theyre a sacrificial clutch -- at least used to be. Have they gone to a well controlled spin these days.

Do you all realize that at this point you all are now getting into minutiae (the small, precise, or trivial details of something) of this?

Basically it boils down that if you hook to the drawbar (or below axle height) with anything you want to pull and are reasonable about trying to drag it you'll be fine. If you hook to the 3PH with no attachment to the drawbar your chances of an flipover are higher but not guaranteed.

If you link to the top link only of the 3PH you are probably doing it wrong.

So just freakin give it up already.

In the forest area around were I live the only way timber is moved in the forest is by skidding, using a dozer or skidder. Running a vineyard on a steep slop I have to move bins of grapes, 500 lbs. each. I use a four wheel drive tractor and very rarely go up hill as the rear wheels loose traction and going down hill I can drop the load and push it. always in fear of a turn over.

Static conditions only occur if the clutch isn't engaged or the motor is stopped. :thumbsup:

Reminds me of what my First Sergeant always said when I was in Vietnam about dealing with Officers. "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bulls***".

Some will be confused, some will not

It's a complicated subject ;-)
