Traction
The 15,000 Inch Pound Motors produce approximately 1000 lb of force at the 15" radius of the wheels, combining to a total of 4000 pounds of traction force in 4 wheel drive operation. Assuming 1 as the coefficient of friction for a 5000 lb gross weight tractor, this translates to a traction comparable to an F250 truck.
The following tests are critical to a good understanding of tractor lifetime and performance:
