I was wondering if anyone knew much about Deere's hydraulic FWA. Were there any major drawbacks to them?

If they dont leak,use the scale below .
1= two wheel drive 10 =mech four wheel drive .
these units in my opinion have 4 rating .
Only works in lower gears .All A,B C1-3 in quad range .
Helps steering. probably only puts out 40hp to front wheels if you are lucky ,with a 100 plus hp tractor .No engine braking on front wheels .
Depends on the planned use ,if they suit you.
larger front tyre compared to two wheel drive ,so should handle a greater load ,if the tractor has a loader,

We sold 3 of them when I worked at the dealership, 2 4430's and 1 4630..no one was happy with them, you can hot wire the front end to work while the tractor is in neutral and it will not load it's self onto a low boy, if it's level it will pull it's self into the shop, and that was when they were brand new...a great idea that didn't work out....

Yes, they didn't work..the hydraulic system didn't make enough pressure and flow to make them work out.

The plus is if you have a 20 series tractor 3020/4620 they bring a substancial premium the minus is tractors didnt have enough hydraulic flow to make them work right.The combines and forage harvestors worked much better.The 30/40 series actually bring less if have them.I know guys that think they are just fine but I doubt if they had a MFD to compare it too.The 50 series made big improvement with 15sp. P.S. and MFD.
