I have a new one on the tractor now and would like to match. Also I have a flat driveway, do I need chains? in Northern wisconsin [Reply]   [Send Email]

Not sure what you mean by two long bars. So new it has the size still on the ag bars where they hit the ground. I just need a pair of good ag tires that will fit.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

How much and you could wire to a skid and ship, any idea of shipping cost? Regards, Dick Norum 715-689-2882   [Reply]   [Send Email]

I'm not sure who I could ship it through. I'm located in North Central IND southwest of Fort Wayne. Unfortunately, without a pickup to take it somewhere to ship it. The email is open.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

I have ballast in rears, added weight to the back blade and chains. Each of which make plowing a lot easier. In my opinion chains are a must-have item.   [Reply]   [No Email]

I have an 1949 8N that I use with a back blade to push snow out of my paved driveway. I do not have chains nor are my tires loaded. I am in south central PA where is does not snow very much or very often. However, sometimes we do get dumped on. I have always been able to clear my rather flat 200 foot paved driveway but with some difficulty. More then once I have slid off the pavement and had to dig my tractor out. Pushing any amount of snow over several inches is difficult and time consuming. Any amount of ice makes the job much more difficult. Straight tires will get the job done in most cases but you need a lot more time and a lot more patience. A gravel drive may be easier and you may get better traction.   [Reply]   [No Email]
