ihredo4 said: (quoted from post at 08:52:05 06/04/10) I have a tow bar that I use to pull a tractor with. I always keep the trail one running. I was told that the engine controls oil flow to the rearend. Never looked any further just let the tractor run. Correct me if I"m wrong please.
I know for sure that if you're towing something like an H or an M, up through the 460/560 you're wasting fuel. The gears run submerged in oil. There's no pressurized lubrication system in the transmission.
The question comes up with you get into the hydraulic TA tractors like an 806. I don't know how extended towing would affect the TA, or if the TA has pressurized lubrication. My gut feeling says that the hydraulic pressure is only used to shift the clutches, and that the TA gears run submerged in oil just like the transmission.
When you get into the really new powershift tractors like the Magnum, then there may be something to leaving the trailing tractor running while it's being towed.
