Pat: I notice in the posts between you and Mitch, you have a 1066 with 4x4. Just curious as to how you like it. I purchased a new 1066 in 1975, 2 wheel drive with duals. I always said if buying another tractor that size, I would go 4x4. Two things my 1066 did was beat the front end to bits and was awfully hard on brakes. Most of this of course happens on large tillage implements. The front drive should help that punishment of turning under load. I found the duals just made that turning problem worse, under load it just wanted to go straight ahead. I put the front end weight on and that just beat the wide front worse. I would think even in 2 wheel drive those 24" fronts would be a big improvement. You mentioned 1066 being hard on fuel, and yes I found that also, great when fully loaded. Just takes some good hefty equipment to load a 1066.
