[AT] Belarus 822

[charliehill]

I've always wondered why US built tractors don't have the down pressure 
hydraulics.  I can remember some foreign built tractors way on back in the 
late 50's had it.
If you needed to change a back tire you just put a block under the drawbar, 
hit the lever and then put some jack stands under the rear axle and you were 
in business.
