Hi!
I have a John Deere LA120 tractor with the 44-in 2-Stage Snowblower attachment.
I also have 2 rear suitcase weights and chains on the back tires.
I live in Canada where we get lots of snow and this things just ain't handling my driveway, there's not enough traction and the wheels end up spinning.
From researching, it appears I will have to add weight to the rear. I think adding weight using liquid tire ballast is my best choice. There's a garage I can go to that can insert the fluid into my rear tires to add weight.
Could someone help me with choosing the right weight to add to each tire. Or even if the tires I have on the LA120 are even able to have fluid installed?
Here's the machine specs:
Frame: 470 lbs
Snowblower: 249 lbs
Rear suitcase weights: 84 pounds (42lbs each)
Tires
front: 15x6.00-6
rear: 20x10.00-8
Thanks!
