front and rear gear ratios

[ryanroo]

I imagine the over speed in the grader is just to combat the length and the dual rear swing axle thingy. With the weight of the engine over the rear and that long length it would have a tendency to push through the corners. Pull the front faster and you help the situation significantly. The same thing would apply to a 4x4 in a lesser degree. As stated these trucks have no give in the driveline for variable speed front to rear. It is recommended not to engage the front axle on high traction surfaces. I've done it for years, especially in the winter if these lady needs a truck to get to work. Better to just stuff it in 4x4 and send her down the road. Never have had any issue, and none of my trucks have ever been awd.

Your set up will work fine. I wouldn't road drive it in 4x, but otherwise i would doubt you even notice
