Got the oversized tires mounted

With the rears loaded the outriggers on the backhoe will not lift the rear tires off the completely off the ground but does stabilize the tractor.

They aren't wider in the rear, just taller.

Problem I have been having is when I'm digging hard dirt and I'm digging sideways at all, the hoe just drags the tractor around like a rag doll.

Bigger tires make everything look better and give better floatation and stability. I'm sure you marched the fronts to the rears but how did you do that?

What tires did you have before? I was under the impression that you didnt change rims.. If it was simply from 13.6 or 14.9, then you went wider and taller.

I had 420/70 - 24 before, so the 16.9 are just taller.

I used what Branson offered from the factory to match tire sizes.

I had the IND20 tire package, which was 10-16.5 fronts, and 420/70-24 rears
I installed the IND25 package, which is 12-16.5 fronts, and 16.9-24 rears.

Pretty common with most backhoes as strong as they can be. Just have to pick at what you are digging until you get at it or use a different bucket.

Ahh.. I see. Thanks.
