The white tractor in my vids is usually running around in 2nd. I rarely ever use 1st. And flip into 3rd running empty, which is a bit faster than walking.
Joe ,
Don’t you use the 3:1 version of the Wedico double-motor coupler type I made up for Ric ?
I don’t remember if I had send you the gear to do that yourself , or if you did get it from Ric ?
