My Big Lawn Mower!

[Shawn T. W]

Such a nice property to mow. 130 lb in a rear tire doesn't sound like much at all. My MX rear tires are 17.5-24 and hold 600 lb of Rim Guard each. Even with water they'd hold around 475 lb.

I only filled them 1/4 full, to keep it as light as possible, but a test to see if it was enough ... Its just a rough guesstimate ... I just filled it at about 7:30 position, and let any excess out ... These are 14.9-26's.



I'll probably try the 9 O'clock position next . . .

The problem I'm trying to avoid is too heavy, and rutting up soft ground, which I have "spots" ... My neighbor kindly reminded me after I buried my semi-truck in her barn yard before I got my driveway in ... That the town we live in is called MARSHfield for a reason ...

The R4's on my L4240 are loaded and grooved. I have mowed in the rain and they worked fine. It pushes an 8' Fisher plow - usually without additional ballast. I have nothing that requires me to operate in mud. It can get a little snotty when the creek floods.

I have been tempted to try some turfs a few times in the past, but the R4's have worked too well to bother.

I skipped around this area today!

Got stuck going forward, tried to pull myself out with the BH, as far as I could get, had forks on the front, no help!
