Last night was the first time I've really gotten out on the road with my tractor. We did a hayride for my daughter's bday with some friends, and we probably went about 5 miles total.
I wasn't more than a 1/2 mile from home, going about 10-12mph when I noticed a little wobble in the tractor as we were going down the road. It was pretty slight, and looking down at the rear tires, I could tell there was a little unbalance there.
Then, looking at the front MFWD tires, I could see a little bit of unbalance in the rims, too. But the tires themselves didn't seem to be wobbling too much.
Hopefully I am explaining myself clearly here.
My question is... is this pretty normal when driving a tractor on the road at higher speeds? I thought maybe the rear tires seemed a little unbalanced because of them being filled with antifreeze / water?
I have 12 hours on my 5075E, so I want to make sure nothing's off here.
Thanks!
