I"ve had duals since I started farming from scratch in 1972. Always J-Bolts until the 150 hp (now 190) 4450 in 1992. Ease of mounting...hands down, the J-Bolts. Either system...no jacks, just set out blocks, back up the tractor. Both...bring the dual to the tractor with the skidsteer...tip into place. J-Bolts...attach anywhere. 4450 with 10 bolt hubs, I/we need to align bolt holes. Use a handyman jack to rest a 3/4 drive socket wrench with extension to match up to the bolt holes, for support (I work by myself). But, when my wonderful kids help, we do it the same, for super tightening, (either way, any tractor, retighten after an hour in the field) Now, without livestock, the duals stay on the 4450 all year, so it is not an issue. BTW- have always run more J-Bolts than recommended, like with the 4020, instead of 4, ran 6. 4240 and 4430, ran 8. On all J-Bolts, I always weld a ring, salvaged with a torch from broken springs from equipment...and run a light chain through them...so if a bolt comes loose in the field, it stays in the wheel, courtesy of the chain.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
