Slope mowing - new tires

[woodlandfarms]

Well, what the heck was I waiting for. this tractor is entirely different. Holds the slopes, tons of traction.

I have battled this slope for years, the ground is real loose and I tend to just slide down the hill. Its not a ton 35 degrees max but the old PT held its position straight across even with the crumbly dirt holds the wall.

Wonder what 4 ply 6PSI tires would be like.

I cut hills like that a lot with my 60 in Dixie Chopper going at a 45 degree angle up and down.

I slid down a wet slop and a 4 ft embankment one time and it nearly killed me. The mower landed on tip of me still running. I hurt for a long time.

I have to do those type slopes all the time but I still pucker a lot.

Are the new tires from PT are they something special?

 

[roadhunter]

Nice. That is some extreme mowing.

 

[woodlandfarms]

Yeah Roadhunter, when you hit 40 degrees you know it for sure.

Farm23 Not sure about your question. I believe PT still uses Carlisle. They are a quality tire, and you pay for the quality. Here in PT Land we call the tires Balloon Tires, I guess cause they are sort of round and can run with very little air (4-6lbs for extreme slopes on 4 ply tires, I run 8lbs on 6ply which gives me an all around type of tire)
