Tug-of-War Fail: Ford Truck Versus John Deere



We're either talking about one really sad Ranger, or one of the toughest John Deere lawnmowers ever.

Once the drive tire of a vehicle with an open diff breaks lose the vehicle has next to zero pulling power so yeah a lawn tractor could probably tow it. If the Ranger driver had simply held the brakes I doubt the Deer could have moved it. But since when does a lawn tractor that size have a diesel engine?

My neighbor has a John Deere about that size with a 22 hp diesel in it. It also looks like the rear tires on the Deere were deflated some, which would add traction. I agree that once the open differential breaks traction, its all over for the little Ford.

maybe out some weight in the bed of the truck, over the rear axle just like the mower has!
