Yeah, and he's probably finding it's expensive to replace old ones. :laughing:

No doubt!!

Those rears have 750# each, so yea, there loaded...

I haven't even found the tree's yet. lol

IF, I don't find what I like, I'll just mill out some other lumber to use...

Wow you have sires lift power to bring your loaded tire off ground, 750lb, is that counting the weight of the wheel to? I like oak for trailer decking, strong stuff, just wish it was light as cedar, but any hardwood will work and work better then open holes, open holes are a good way to throw your back out.

My rears are filled also, don't know the weight, but I can for sure pick them up too with a too big of log! Just don't ask me how I know.

It surprised the **** out of me also... I got off the tractor and looked because I couldn't believe it. I don't understand how this tractor can weigh more than my old L275, yet is constantly in the air doing things which were routine with the old tractor. Before I start working it again this summer I really need to buy new tires and load them... or I will be posting here lamenting that I didn't load my tires.

I like the beat juice stuff the best but 4 years ago when had one rear tire fixed at different place they used Ballast Star, a souped up calcium I guess, be interesting to weigh both tires see how close they are in weight. I need loaded tires for any bucket work although wheel weights would solve a big headache flat tire problem.

Why do you need new tires already, I thought your L3300 tractor was new two years ago?

I think your tractor is next size up from my L3400, what size are you rear tires? Mine are 11.2-24.

Cool, he has broads in his trailer??

:laughing: Thats another word I get backwards all the time, stupid spell check doesn't know how to do sentence check, after I see the wrong word I decided to leave it for a laugh and see how many Sherlock's are on here, I counted 2.
That was just one small error as apposed to making sure when I spell Virginia to make sure I pronounce it first to myself, ten years ago on FB I spell it with Va......... and my daughter told my wife to tell me to re-do that post, boy was my face red...........................

I bought it used, it's a 2015. Still, I'm not too impressed as they are getting weather cracked. I've never liked loaded tires; something which I learned from my father. However, apparently when he bought his last new tractor in 2008 he had them filled... beet juice or whatever they're loaded with gets pretty rancid after 12 years in a tire.
A friend's son had the tires in his Montana loaded with used anti-freeze. I don't know that I would like that, the first time you get a flat tire it will probably be right next to the well. And he hires out with it...

Well then at least it would be someone elses well!

NO, the 750# is just the added weight, I have no idea what the total weight of the wheel/tire would add to that.

It will pick up quite a bit, but sometimes it's not quite enough and I have to go grab another tractor to help out! lol

IF, I don't find a W. Oak that I like, I'll probably do like I ALWAYS seem to do, just grab what's handy...
