[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 505307, member: 2862"] On your typical gear driven transfer case, 4WD is evenly distributed between front and rear axles. On many 3/4 and 1 ton 4x4s, the front axle is geared a HAIR lower than the rear, so you'd be putting a tiny bit more torque to the ground. I don't think you could measure it as the gearing difference is 3.55/3.54 or 4.10/4.11. As for a tractor, it will depend. On a true 4WD, power is evenly divided among all 4 corners. On a front wheel assist, it will depend on the manufacturer. As a general rule of thumb, any MFWD that is hydraulic drive will not have as much power going to the fronts as it does to the rears.
