Hey everybody. I just bought an old (1978 or so) john deere 302 with 3pt, pto, and loader. This will be the newst tractor I have ever owned, so I will probably be asking a few questions in the near future. My first question is this. The industrial tires that are on it are bald enough to be turf tires. One of of the local used implement dealers has a set of 4 ply rice tires that would fit nicely. I have thought about rice tires before because my little piece of northern MN is a lot of wet clay for about three months out of the year. Of course the other thing Mn has a lot of is snow for about nine months out of the year. I"ve read that rice tires are made of hard rubber and don"t grip well on snow. The obvious solution would be chains for the winter months. But I just don"t know how chains will work on those deep treads. Has anybody here tried a set-up like this? Any opinions welome. Oh and now that I think of it, will doing loader work be too hard on those long treads? Thanx in advance.
