Reading Dustyah's post about Too Much Weight got me thinking about my own ongoing project. I know tractors have a maximum weight rating, but what exactly does this entail? A tractor can be too heavy in regards to what (field work, traction, hp-weight ratio...)?
What problems are associated with being too heavy? Of course, short of way overdoing it and blowing out front hubs and spindles, snapping axles, etc.
I'm sure it depends greatly depending on the application, but what is the fudge factor with the specified max weight?
