We had the same amount of snow also, was wet and sloppy. Sure you would notice a difference without the 84. Had rear bearing problems with a 4240 we had. At 3000 hrs, bolt fell out that holds the axle in. Had 18 bales on the stack mover was slowing down to round a corner felt like clutch went out. Went outside seen a pool of oil under the axle housing seen the axle moved outward 6 inches! Lucky no other damage other than bearings. Could have been a hell of a train wreck.
Really like your videos. Keep them coming. I'm impressed with the 8430 and loader. Does it work good for you? For a loader tractor do you have issues with the clutch or tranny? I have thought about doing the same thing. I have run my round baler with a 8640. Rain coming and only tractor not being used. Worked great!
No troubles yet with our loader on our 8430, knock on wood. I have heard people are scared of the front axles breaking beings we’re using single but no troubles yet
