John Deere 9 Series Tracked Tractor with Planetary Steering

[cooker2003]

Reprinted the fuel tanks hollow and filled with #7.5 lead shot. Worked awesome! Maxed out my scale with 500+g added to each tank. Pulls the disk much better now in the dirt. Dry steering without speed is harder on the steering servo for sure.

That's true for any vehicle that can pivot in place. There's just something about being forced to move sideways that treads/wheels don't like. Sometimes friction is our friend and then at other times....
