Not from diff lock or weight, but I recall the first time I drove a tractor was a grey fergie. First gear, fine, second gear, fine. Top, whoops, front wheels bouncing up and down over the bumps in the laneway as it went three times as fast as in second gear, my dad forgot to mention not to use the road gear..
