Loading both front and back tires on a SC2400 ???

("As for reversing the tires/rims....yes it can be done and will give you extra width/stability. Keep in mind the tires are essentially directional.....and by reversing the rims you are reversing the tread pattern on the tires.....but only for R4's and R1's. To be factory standard, you would need to dismount each tire from the rim and switch the tires around to face the opposite direction. Not a factor for turf tires, you can switch around as tread pattern remains constant.")


When I had the tires and wheels swapped on my SC2400, the tires were never removed from the rims and the R4 pattern was pointing in the correct direction. What used to be the outer part of the left wheel became the inner part of the right wheel and visa versa. The only thing that did change was the valve stem was on the inside of both wheels instead of being on the outside which never caused a problem.

As one who mows rough surfaces a lot 45 acres or so per week. leaving the loader on is a no go!! that 400 Lbs up there flopping is a powerful back breaker. I have a quick attach so can drop the bucket but it still is a killer, Now I drive 250 to 300 miles on a route mowing and do other maintenance around the properties so the loader is to handy not to have with. that said it will unhook and can be strapped to the front of the trailer and still park up between the arms. and lets face it take the loader off a time or 30 and its about a 2 minute job.
I will say I mow some hills that are pure pucker factor going downhill at a 14% angle than turn sideways and climb back up. was really hair raising without the rimguard in the rears. Made a tremendous difference
