Mr. Plow Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Pulled the new tires today, using the box scraper......man do they bite and dig! Leveled off some water line trenches at the farm and spread some gravel behind the new shed. Ran out of white rock, so blended in some asphalt millings (black "gravel").

DR.EVIL Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Steve - Nice SHOP! How big of an area is air conditioned? I've been SO tempted to pull the back window out of my shop and install a window unit air conditioner. Since I insulated the shop if I keep the big door closed it stays cool enough in summer and I can heat it in winter. If I keep the big door open a few minutes too long I head for the house.

Mr. Plow Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Dad built a 60x40, whole thing between the house and barn. whole thing is concrete and insulated, heater and AC.....stays very nice in there and with 3" of foam on the walls and ceiling it is sealed up tight. Have bathroom roughed in and water in shop, but no fixtures installed yet....winter project! Heat/AC was a used unit from one of the Chicago land Cub cadet collectors, pulled it out of his house when he went geo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exSW Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 Anyone ever put rimguard in the back tires of a Garden tractor? Since weights are hard to find and expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Plow Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I use washer fluid....in tubes, 80# per tire on 26x12 tires. Load them with a home made "tire bong".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Ag tire shop will sell and mount the wt-300's for $98.00 a side I thought about getting rim guard added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoshoe Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Mine are all filled with used antifreeze. Available at most service shops free. Just supply empty container. Use it without tubes. Lay tire and wheel on flat surface. Break top bead. Pour in antifreeze. Air up tire. Rinse off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Plow Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Wyatt Compton built the first one, about 1/2 that size. I copied his and made a few improvements along the way. I once fluid filled the tires on a van made entirely of marijuana, but it caught fire and went up in smoke before I could take a pic!!!!! ??

Wyatt tried his Bong out in my shop. He had some WWF and I had just flushed the cooling system on my pickup, had 8 gallons of used antifreeze, so we filled two sets of tires. Your's is WAY bigger. But they load fluid in a real hurry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drglinski Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I love my firestones. I plowed about a half acre with them in October (10" plow) and 1 IH wheel weight on each wheel (no fluid) and didn't have slipping issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby Red Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Converting our Cadets over to BKT AG tread as the old turfs are wearing out, have more tread bars then some other brands good plow tires, and work well on turf too. We keep 26 x 12 - 12 23 x 10.50 - 12 23 x 8.50 - 12 We prefer the 5 rib steers, better flotation and good looking BKT 16 x 6.50 - 8 18 x 8.50 - 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
