Piggy back cubs

[modcub72]

I didn't have time to finish my last post,
I've been really busy working.
Ol' George, you're exactly right.
Except that I don't envy nobody,
that's not how I was brought up.
And I mean no disrespect in any way
towards you in any way.
I love your responses towards everything.
I was brought up by my dad,
that served in two wars.
And I really mean served.
He yell'd and screamed every night.
When I was young, in my single digits.
All the way to my early teens.
Me and my siblings never knew anything,
he kept it hid the best he could.
Until the last 4 months of his life,
more like the last week he was with us.
He slipped, and said things then.
And it made so much sense to all of us.
Cancer really blows.
I lost my ma, (dad), grand parents, great grandparents, uncle's, aunt's.......
it goes on and on.
And I know I'm not the only one that lives/lived/delt with it.
My siblings and I was just used to it,
but we know now.
We've had A LOT of other family members serve,
and hid shit to themselves too.
So yep, I understand.

And cadplans.
If I ruffled your feathers,
I'm sorry.
I'm happy for what I have,
and love seeing others enjoying what they have.
And bringing up new ideas.

Well said, Thank you!
Unless we walk in someones shoes we have no clue as to
the burdens they carry.

I recently lost a dear friend/neighbor who served in Korea.
He kept it all inside as most do.
Someday, hopefully there will be no wars or blood shed.
But it seems impossible.

Now back to my feeble attempt at humor

"and love seeing others enjoying what they have."
I will ditto that statement. I have green, yellow and gray and like them all. I also could enjoy orange, red, blue, you get my point. i simply enjoy tractors.

Thanks for posting all your different equipment.

I'm having a hard time picturing what you mean by "piggy back" or maybe I have a misconception. When I think of "piggy back", I think of one on the other, like when my siblings and I gave each other a piggy back ride, we jumped on each other's back and the person holding them up walked around. When I picture that with cubs, I would think that it would look like two cubs mating and then when you mentioned hydrostatics, I thought of the driveshafts, hydrostatic fluid….well, never mind. I just cannot stop thinking about it. So, if you are thinking about setting them up in a "piggy back" fashion, then I cannot understand why unless you are expressing yourself artistically. Perhaps you mean setting them up in tandem?

I think he means something like this. I had a hard time picturing it too until I looked it up.

Okay, then that is in tandem, like I said and not "piggy back". Thanks...

Don't know a lot about this stuff but it seems to me that putting both together
would only provide the power of the one that was putting out the most HP.
The one with the most HP would simply be dragging or pushing the other.
I talked to a train engineer once and he told me that when they have multiple
diesel engines running they all feed electric generators that can be more easily
calibrated to run the exact HP so that all the engines work together. I had
forgot all about that till this came up. Cool

As the load begins to slow the units, the governor's add throttle as they are synchronized, maintaining power till traction or power are overcome.

Thank you George, that was really cool.
It brings back memories from 45 years ago.
I was raised around a poor farming community.
They never did that,
but they chained tractors together to help one another out whenever needed.
But do remember them talking about tandem tractors.
Thank you george for the memories,
thank you.
