HeadExam 1,783 #1 Posted March 19, 2015 Anyone seen these, the rear wheels are nothing more than drag wheels the front wheels provide power and braking turns the tractor. http://www.stevenchalmers.com/Gravely/MowIn2001/WC1_LeftFront.shtml 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 524 #3 Posted March 19, 2015 Never seen one of those before, Is it one of yours or are you considering buying it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #4 Posted March 19, 2015 It is interesting, basically a ride on two wheel tractor, cute as a button too. I saw one at a show, but I was not figuring on buying it. They take the same attachments as the other Gravely tractors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #5 Posted March 19, 2015 I like that, looks good with single wheels and hubcaps, do the rear wheels steer with the steering wheel ? Or have I missed something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldBuzzard 186 #6 Posted March 19, 2015 It has rear wheel steering.

Stormin 4,458 #7 Posted March 19, 2015 Forgive me, but I'm a tad confused. Which or both? Or does it depend which model? , the rear wheels are nothing more than drag wheels the front wheels provide power and braking turns the tractor. It has rear wheel steering.

Triumph66 1,256 #8 Posted March 19, 2015 A very unusual GT. Nice videos of them too. I guess they are fairly rare over in the States? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #9 Posted March 19, 2015 Forgive me, but I'm a tad confused. Which or both? Or does it depend which model? I think the tractor does use the rear wheel to steer, but I thought it also used individual wheel brakes for turning as well. My fault for the confusion.
