Cool machine and something that I was thinking of building. Mine would never come out so well done and finished

Looks like somebodies project from the old forum. Probably pulls well although you still only have about 8HP to the wheels.

Yeah Matt, when I was day dreaming about building an articulated machine I realized that it's not truly a 4x4 nor double the power; I mean, without differential lock it's not really a 4x4.

I don't want to sound like I'm criticizing, this tractor is very cool

and the build is amazing, all I'm saying is that for me functionality is much more important. Me thinks that something like this is best made into a full time loader, on account of strong front axles and power steering. So if someone

throws a 446 rear axle on the front of a 646 now that's a party

Eugen, that's a project for you sometime down the road. You don't have time now.
I think these machines are cool and some definitely show some people's amazing mechanical skills. But I think functional they are quite limited. Mostly are show pieces.
