I think the Nebraska tests are run on a concrete test track where tires will grip better than tracks. On soil the tracks will pull more.

I meant that the wheel machine turns jerky imo. It will turn better in mud but in most conditions the 36" tracks turn perfectly fine. The track machines are 100 times smoother to operate. No comparison there. There is not a machine on the farm that rides as nice as a track machine. Track machine has way more drawbar hp.

I'm surprised to hear the comment that the "b"'s were more problematic than the "c"'s as we have had far more trouble with our 2 c's than we ever had with the b's. I think the kinks are out now but boy I've had some interesting times with these tractors at the start. Good luck though I do think they are a heavy duty well built machine overall

I'd hope so, you're looking at something like an additional 50 HP off the flywheel.
