I posted this one on the John Deere forum and got quite a few interesting theories. Let's see if we hear from anybody else here. Alright, there are quite a few intelligent people here, so I need to pick your brains. I am involved in an argument with my father about which takes more power to move, iron weights or liquid ballast. We understand the whole CACL rust issue, the toxicity of Glycol and the cost of installation/maintenance differences. Our argument is based purely on which requires more HP. I won't state which side of the fence that I am on, but I do believe that my opinion is supported by the laws of physics. These father/son arguments seem to be abundant. The only consolation that I get is that even though I am alway wrong according to dad, in several months he will prove my point to himself and preach it as the gospel according to his experience. Any and all opinions are welcome and the more the better. Thanks for your time!
