I'll address the bobtail question for you -- --
In a word or two -- No Problem.
Adding weight to the rear -- in my opinion -- this is a personal choice.
I would rather -- in the operation of this type of vehicle -- stress Defensive Driving. Safe speed for the conditions present -- not to exceed the posted speed limit.
I live in the Great North Wet -- the rainfall average here on the Coast is 90" a year. I drive defensively and with caution -- and Never use the cruse control - or jake in wet weather.
I also use an open lug tire on the drive. I've never had a problem (knock on wood) in wet/snow/ice.
As far as the ride -- It is a Tractor -- but .. the ride is very comfortable bobtail. Frankly -- I perfer to drive the tractor to my 2 - cars. I'm far more comfortable.
I would encourage you to somehow arrange for a ride. I gladly offer rides for those who are in the area and express an interest.
Happy Researching !! !!
