It sure is interesting how equipment in some areas has been turned to scrap where others it still has life. That style of field cultivator had a short life in our area. There were many Noble units that never were used enough to where the original teeth down to put on the replacement shovels. In our corn and beans environment they just didn't have the clearance. it sure looks like it works well on your grass land.

And you even cheated and used a loader!

We seem to only use the loader for the cast-iron hubbed duals of the 2590. The steel rims are easy enough to man-handle with two of us...

Allan,
Not to change the subject, but how is your hay yield this year compared to other years? You have been getting a LOT more (on-going) rain than usual, haven't you?

Thanks,
Glenn F.

I expect he's running duals to limit compaction.

Allan By the looks of that pic, it looks looks like Work! We always stored our duals at our old storage barn. Kept a 3 ft piece of 2x6 that had another 2 ft piece of 2x6 nailed to it in successive fashion. Backed the tractor up to the door where the duals are, like 10 feet or less, then up on the two 2x6s till the tractor lifted just a little, Just high enough to roll the dual up to the hub and lean the dual on to, then pop it on the hub , line up the holes, by rotating the tire a little with a 6 ft piece of 1&1/4 pipe, stab the mounting bolts, tighten the bolts, repeat the process on the other side. My best time was 10 minutes start to finish, (balls to the wall) more like 20 minutes or slightly less was the norm.
Maybe something like this process above might help, I don't know! Just be very careful!!
I did loose a, 18.4x42 one time. I slipped for it was wet and slick , that dual got away from me an wound up on me at about waist high, it was all I could do to get out from under it. be very careful.

I use the duals to help spread the weight of the tractor out over a larger area. Secondly, a bit better traction.

They work just like a snowshoe in knee-deep snow.

Keeps the tractor "up on top" and the "tracks" out of the seedbed.

Yeah, know what ya mean.

Got one tire that has a real slow leak. Have to put air in that darned thing at least once a year.

Tractor rides better with duals on. Not as much side sway up in the cab.

(quoted from post at 05:07:49 08/10/09) Tractor rides better with duals on. Not as much side sway up in the cab.

Duals make everything better, better ride, better floatation, better traction, better tire life, better fuel economy, etc... at least on a tractor, don't know about a dually pickup.

Geeze!
