G'day Blokes,
I run a Challenge Brand FEL with a 4 in 1 bucket on the front of a 1026R, I was leaving the FEL on when mowing or slashing, since 2012 it seemed like I don't put Bambi (The baby Deere) away without a flat front tyre or worse still a tyre rolled of the rim.
This really served as a green laxative .... It certainly gave me massive doses of the S***Ts !!!
My solution was to replace the front 4 Ply Carlisle Trac Chiefs which have a max inflation press of 22 psi on the sidewall ...... with ...... 8 Ply BKT Skid Power Heavy Duty tyres, Once these were mounted on the rims I took them for a drive in the boot (yeah yeah I know trunk) of the car to Newcastle and had them foam filled to an equivalent pressure of 24 psi - The tyre & wheel assembly's weigh 40lbs each, I guess I don't need any suitcase weights.:yahoo:
Because the block is so soft We've had the wettest March and April for years I was a bit worried about the weight so I took the FEL off and it settled to floor of the shed with a loud " CRASH ........ ". I will take the time to read the instructions at a later date.
I spent the Easter long weekend slashing the block like a mad thing with a 4 foot Fieldquip slasher, The Skid Power Tyres are :bigthumb:
Cheers
Chris "Bambi"
