Hi All,
Wow, my first post in Kubota OWNING! Interesting how my last post in Kubota Buying progressed into a tire loading/ballast discussion. I don't think I'll be draining out the washer fluid because it's not as heavy as other solutions though.
OK, I debated a bit about this post but what the heck I'm not too proud /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif. About 20 minutes after the dealer dropped off our new tractor I found myself stranded down a snow covered path about 700' from the house. I've got photos to prove it and if I get the chance I'll try to post them here somewhere. I had hoped to postpone buying tire chains until next winter because I really think we're just about done with this winter's er' spring's snow. Jeez, we were getting some light snow this morning when I went down to look at my dear, lonely, cold, wet tractor! Anyway, my dealer gave me the name of the place (local) they get their chains from, so I could save a few bucks, and I want to call them today. Since I've now discovered first hand some of the traction limitations with R4 tires I suspect they'll come in handy for non-snow uses also such as muddy ground or garden tilling work. Are there any special considerations or questions I should know about?
Slightly Embarrassed but Happy- Dave
