Rolling resistance of fluid..More

Here's the deal.

I don't know one egg from another, but these tires are filled to the brim with fluid; over the stem.

Yesterday, I go out to cut 5 acres of grass. "I'll just roll it outside without starting it, as to not smoke up the garage", says I.

Didn't happen. I'm kind of a rippy little feller, but I couldn't budge that old sow an inch, hard as I tried; so maybe there is something to the "fluid being hard to pull" theory.

If those tires would have been empty, I know darned well that I could have rolled that thing outside via my scrawny little self.

Dunno,

How could you even think of cutting grass with that beauty??? (smile)

Get a goat or something; that's a nice looking machine! Thanks for sharing the pic with us!

But, I didn't rework the old heifer to not have her work.

But darnit, I still find myself washing it after every time I use it.....that urge will quit in time, won't it?

What you experienced is simply the added static weight of the ballast... "an object at rest tends to stay at rest".
