I've been picking up some heavy loads of wet sand with FEL lately and noticed a spinning sound up front when backing up and going nowhere. I can't see what's happening but I think left wheel is actually spinning inside the tire, with tire firmly anchored in sand. Can this happen? It seems to still hold air. At first I thought I had a front end problem.
Some background. JD4200 collarshift 4WD. I had to change one front tire out to an ag type when I had a flat with side wall rip one weekend with two loads of limestone blocking my driveway. The ag was all I could find quick. So I hav an ag on left and old industrial on right. I'll replace both one day. I'm thinking the ag is probably not rated for loader work though. I didn't realize it might matter at time, but didn't have much choice. When I pick up load I'm at an incline so extra weight is on front.
I was planning on putting slime in fronts. I wonder if this would help or hurt slipping.
