Tire Question and................

[Soundguy]

Even a cheapy small walmart car battery can produce over 400 CCA. Your tractor's alternator doen't need to be able to handle the load.. the storage battery will, for short durations. I think you will be fine.. the battery turns over your starter on a diesel engine.. it will make a couple pulls ont he same battery... remember.. most winches have duty cycles too.. chances are your duty cycle will be coming up on a light or medium duty winch about the time the battery is getting to where you really need to start the tractor to recharge.. etc.

I managed to get stuck near a swamp. I had made multiple passes through an area that was spongy. Everything was fine until I broke through the mat of vegaetation. I tried to use the loader to get myself out and basically dug myself a hole. We used everything to try to get it free.
I checked the front axle and it looked OK. Since the tractor is scheduled for maint. I'll do the front axle over just to be safe. I've had 2nd thoughts about attaching the winch on the tractor. The amp draw for this winch @ full load is 350 amps. I'm not sure a tractor has a large enough altenator and there is no room for a 2nd battery.
The tire flattened due to bead separation. Trying to turn it in the mud didn't help. It sports a tube and liner now. I had a Ford 4000 "67" which had 20 ply tires on it. These were from the air line industry. Even 20 ply aren't safe from Honey Locust.
