[QUOTE="Will7, post: 6329118, member: 1749"] This is a useful equation I was given which was developed by Silsoe and DLG: [U]650 x Engine PTO power (kW)[/U] = weight required on driving wheels (kg) Speed of work (km/hour) So in your 500hp example: Engine Horsepower (hp) 500 PTO Power (kw) 336 Speed of Operation (km/hr) Required Weight (kg) 4 54551 5 43641 6 36368 7 31172 8 27276 9 24245 10 21821 11 19837 12 18184 13 16785 14 15586 Therefore I would suggest if the tractor is going to operate below 12kmhr stick with the quad, above 12kmhr then the fendt should be competitive provided you have the correct tyres etc. I changed from a crawler to wheels and miss it on heavy work and when it is rough but prefer the wheels the majority of the time. My preference would be the quad, just put something really wide behind it [/QUOTE]
