Do these tires make my tractor look fat? Update

Posted by Harold Hubbard on October 21, 2008 at 15:51:21 from (199.232.228.77):

I posted pictures several weeks ago of my C with the newly mounted dual rear tires, along with a few questions. I have now used it for a while and am pretty happy with the results.

Several people offered suggestions as to what I could do to improve the flotation on the front. The only thing I had time for was to remove the front wheel weights.

So, the verdict is:

Pluses:

Much better flotation, several times I went right through places where I could see the old single wheel rut from last year, filled with water.

Stability on the side hills, much lower "pucker factor" in places I didn't like before.

So far no place where the extra foot of width was too much.

Bonus: smoother ride on rough ground. It takes a bigger hole for the duals to fall into. Overall increased width reduces side to side shaking.

Better clearance on uneven ground as a result of the increased width.

Big Minus:

DUALS DO NOT MAKE UP FOR STUPIDITY. "Well I already went across there twice, I should be able to make it again." WRONG!!! The whole event followed the same sickening scenario as getting stuck without duals, the front wheels sunk in to the point where they were no longer turning, and started pushing up a pile of mud and sod. The rears started spinning and dug themselves in until the mower frame was resting on the ground, end of story. Farmall 560 and forty feet of chain cured that. Sorry no pictures, I forgot and left the camera in the pickup.

Today's Featured Article - Ford N-Series Transmission/Hydraulic Fluid - The Full Story - by Llamas.
