My problem is this: I can get through the fields to mow but I rut them significantly. I have a MF 1428 with a 5ft woods bushog on the back. My tires are Front: R4 25 x 8.50-14 Rear: R4 12.5/80-18. I want something higher flotation or in duals but cannot find either for this size tractor. I have no problem buying new rims and tires but cannot find them to buy. Anyone have any thoughts?
I'm mystified here, what legal right has the Conservation Agent work under??
I can understand being cited for high grass and ladder fuel around a dwelling during a fire danger as per California and places like that.
But, can you elaborate please?
