Well I have always been curious, so we bought both tractors and after seeding we tried the test. Tractor 1 is a quad 600 with pto and around 58000 lbs according to spec. Tractor 2 is case 535 on 800 metric large rubber. full weight package bringing her in at 56000 lbs, so very close.. We hooked them together and started driving in first gear away from each other at 1 mph. first pull was on a freshly graveled pad about a foot deep of crushed rock. Tractors never moved, just dug down. So it was tie. The second pull was on grass pasture very tall wet grass. same result, a tie. Third pull was on dirt in the field. same result. A tie. Both tractors held each other and this was a very fair comparison. Same color, close to same weight, and both big boys, did their job. Now during seeding, we were stuck many times with both tractors. Quad is my favorite because the cab and the ride across the field is amazing. you wont even splash a little coke out of the can. The 535 is a lot smoother on the road. So I Just thought I would share.
