Jon: Thank you for that, I've already sent an e mail off to McDowell. They really don't say whether ag or const type tire, however I guess that photo next to the listing is the tire and seems to be ag and has about same tread wear as mine. My tire is a very decent tire. Problem is my 130 rims need replacing, new tires not important, but if I'm going to all that work, I'd like to have a good solid set of matching tires. Like you said in your other post, I doubt if anyone can or will sell me new tires today that resist weather checking like this Astro has. I do however think tread count is important on these 24" tires. I've been looking around local tire shops lately and all new 4 or 6 ply 12.4x24 tires have 15, 16 or 17 treads. It may also be the case that no one builds a 19 or 20 tread count tire this size anymore. Same old-same old, cheap is the answer, the H@## with quality, they'll grab your extra money and still try to convince you more expensive junk is better. We see that in every aspect of life today. Now, you've also got me curious, I know your in Upstate NY, but where? I bet we came close to you last summer. We crossed at Buffalo, went west to OH border, south into PA, then north back to the NY side, east through the Alegany's then north to Rochester. From there back home to Canada via Lewiston. However that still leaves a lot of Upstae NY untouched, all the more reason to go back. Similar to our local grocery store, produce manager tells me when I was delivering to him 3 times per week, always in a hurry, I was not near the nuisance I am as a retired customer. Today, Marg. sends me to the store with a list. He claims I'm never in a hurry to leave anymore, plus I forget half the list so I have an excuse to come back tomorrow. I'll tell you, this ageing has some benefits.

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
