Default Re: FW-60.Workin Video!

Nice videos, Fred. How much does your tractor weigh now? Which gear are you running the tractor in, for the movies? At least it's not short on power, but it could probably use a little more weight for the heavy tillage. Fill the tires with some BB's maybe. Does the rear of the tractor oscillate much? Can't really tell from your articulation center joint, but in the video, when the one tire breaks loose and spins a hole, it looks like the rear is oscillating. Did you think about locking the differentials at all, or would that make steering worse?

I enjoyed the videos. I'm about to try my hand at building a tractor like this, thanks to you, but a red one. Any advice for a newbie?
