Traction. We have to remember that tractors were originally designed for pulling and were 2wd.

Traction is never a consideration. All that extra weight does is push me deeper into the snow or mud.
I've never believed in loaded tires for that reason. If they won't help keep my rear tires on the ground than I see no reason to load them.

 

[Wagtail]

Really? what are you going to report? that he talks different than you?
Just skip past like others do.

:laughing: Bloody good point. If that were the case I'd be reported daily just for saying "G'day!"

Or you lot for constantly misspelling 'tyre'.

 

[LouNY]

Well heck I just read this entire thread tonight,
so the original poster picked up a sack with a tad bit more weight then expected and had to shove the loader down fast to avert an issue.
Startled himself and he has ordered a rear ballast box to prevent the same issue from happening again.
Good for him.
I can't count the number of times I've lifted a rear tire while working with a loader on numerous tractors, loaders and backhoes.
I've even lifted tires on both ends of my dynahoe and it is a beast a 190-4.

Then we have some people complaining about the way another poster writes.
He does make some of his posts hard to read, but must be something wrong with me as quite often I have no trouble reading his writing.
And then someone wants to go cry and complain about the way he is writing, some one needs to get a life or grow up.

I've done the same before, along with dropping the load down to keep from tipping over. Thanks for posting the reminder.

 

[user.69169]

You mean ain't sposta test loader & hydraulics by pickin back end off ground? Lotta boys & girls around here gonna be real shocked to hear dat. Neighbor's wife got habit of usin bucket jammed in pile so she can shift middle bender back end over fer fast turn comin out of pile of frozen manure.

Bucket comes down fast as machine protection system. You don't use it machine generally tips back on tires easy enough. Let oil drain back past rings and you good to go.

Me, too! It is one reason that I try hard never to have heavy loads more than a few inches off the ground when in motion. I would rather "ground out" with the load hitting ground than lift the rear tires (or tyres). cqaigy2 and I both have tractors that shorten their wheelbase and therefore center (centre) of mass when turning, so things that were ok straight, aren't ok in the turn. I have gotten very proficient at hitting the dump lever to get everything on the ground and back to stability.

I'm glad bunyip didn't go over, and I'm always happy to learn from other's experiences.

All the best,

Peter

I plan on getting a hay spike or forks for the 3pl so i can pick up a round bale on the back and two on the front next hay cut, will save a few trips a i can fabricate a pallet to put on thus making it a carry all.
Was going to get a flail mower but the council cut the front of our new place every month, that has saved me a bit.

Wouldn't it be better to get a 3pt model that can haul 2 bales and then just haul one with the loader?

 

[i7win7]

Think about spreading gravel, bucket raised about 60% travel so you can monitor dump rate and tractor is moving. Loaded tires and 3pt ballast keeps tractor stable. Using 4wd provides best braking action if rear end gets light - if this happens stop and add more ballast, lighter bucket loads.

 

[bunyip]

Rarely use the brakes as I find backing off the HST almost launches you over the steering wheel, when I started tipping nothing was in my favour, loader high to pick up loops, trailer high putting it up a bit more and one front wheel in a bit of a dip whic I hadn't noticed causing me to lose some personal ballast shortly after the event.
As for (removed), i won't launch an attack and can generally decipher his posts, informative most of the time with a few diversions but I think most of us can claim priors for that, if you want language challenges, go to the UK, a 25 mile drive can change the dialect and interpretations of common words, a compliment in one town can be an insult in another.

 

[i7win7]

As for (removed),

I speak American English, can understand British English. Have no desire to learn a 4'n language. Think most Americans feel this way.

 

[bunyip]

And not many talk like Paul Hogan or Steve Irwin come to that, I used to travel to the USA 3-5 times a year for work and never encountered any language difficulties, terminologies at times, I assumed that was reserved for the movies.
Then, I only ever travelled to NY, Boston and Colorado.

 

[two_bit_score]

I believe it is against the rules to go disparaging another member in posts making those so doing being the ones who should be banned if any.

Yep. Most of us have other posters we skip over or have on ignore. This is not a formal writing forum. If it was most would have been expelled by now.

Quityerbitchin about (removed)s commenting style. If you dont like it just scroll on by.

 

[Alien]

Yeah I posted a vid of me lifting the rear wheels in a big way trying to dig out a bamboo. Glad some of these folks haven't seen it or I would be roasted. As for (removed). Keep it up buddy. I find a lot of your posting very informative. I did well in English at school about 57 years ago and I have no problem understanding (removed). I quite enjoy his dialect. It may confuse real aliens if they come down though.

 

[Slowpoke Slim]

If it wasn't completely FAKE, I doubt anyone would care.

It's the fake, put on "persona" that folks (myself included) dislike.

Most people can spot frauds, especially when they so consistently tip their hands and display their "put on" antics like this guy does.

There's no reason to be fraudulent here on TBN. How are you supposed to take anything this guy says seriously when you know every word he's typing is a "put on"?

Right on.

For some reason, this "persona" only started halfway through his participation on TBN. Before that, it was easy to read and understand.

Fraud is fraud. So unless he's had a stroke, or was kicked in the head by a mule, then it's all gamesmenship and ballderdash.

No disrespect intended, just a strange vernacular transition over a ten year span.

Filled tires don't do much for lifting. You need weight on the 3 point.

As others have pointed out, filled tires do indeed provide stability, but they don't move the entire system's center of mass far enough back, so the entire FEL load is still being carried by the front axle.

By hanging a big weight off the back of the tractor, you can actually unweight the front axle completely (wheely time, do not advise); ideally there's enough weight far enough back behind the tractor that the front axle has "enough" weight to allow steering and traction (and possibly stopping) but not so much that the rears are too light or the front axle gets damaged.

Loops probably make it convenient to pick, but makes your loader and center of gravity high, and you experienced the results. Is it possible to lift sacks with forks from bottom?

As for (removed), I can’t understand 50% of what he’s trying to say, the rest is ok I guess, but it’s just easier to skip over than putting in the effort trying to decipher. Plus I had a grandfather that died at the Siege of Louisbourg (1758) kicking those Arcadians out of Nova Scotia down into the swamps. So hearing those marbled mouth echos kind of hits a sensitive spot, though it might be time to let the grudge go?
