Well, my B7800 has been a great asset in doing all of our landscaping and while it has a loooong way to go until retirement it is seeing less heavy work these days. Now it is being used to mow the lawn at least once a week and regrade the gravel drive once a month. I still do some material moving including some pretty large rocks and some box blading on occassion but not what I have in the past. What I am wondering is whether I will notice a big difference in those heavier jobs if I "unload" the tires (I would still use the box blade as ballast of course). I am thinking it would make a much better mower if I could get that extra 500 or so lbs. out of the rear tires and be a bit gentler on the lawn. What do you guys think? Am I going to gain much by draining the tires for mowing and on the flip side am I going to lose much when it comes to loader and box blade work (and snow plowing)? Thanks for any advice.
