If my thinking is correct the deeres have inboard planetary axles. Either of deere or ZF make.

your right they do, but they are not full time 4x4. they are easy on the ground. but a hard pull in mud or uphill, I want the clark or IH they will out pull the deere any day.

busted, you had ta be around a skidder some time

Back when this 450C ran right it would pull some serious hitches. something like 2500 feet in one hitch we scaled out.

Thats when it ran on all 6 lol. The guy running it now wants me to tear into it but he has to stop running it for a week to let me do it lol Plus I have to have the time myself. I think she has a burnt exhaust valve. It has a popping noise coming from number 3. Crack the line on No. 3 and it stops popping. Tells me its a burnt valve .. 5.9 cummins head set is only a $100. I could do it in a day unless it needs machine work then it'll be a week.

don't think i'd run it that way if it was mine. sounds like a valve

The 8 will pull 800 to 900 feet and still push a blade full at the same time lol it is one sick little pusher . I thinks its how they are balanced

Not my skidder...if it was it would have been fixed by now. If it sucks that valve ........what a mess that will be
