To load or not to load a CK20?

For NY State, yes, it was silly. However the guys in Florida and Southern Cal or Hawaii don't have to worry about deep freezes so it is not a completely silly idea. I imagine it would take a day at least of sub freezing weather to freeze water in tires so an occasional frost would not be an issue.

Actually that is funny. I grew up in the Northeast and we always had the tires filled with calcium. When I bought my Kubota earlier this year the dealer asked me if I wanted the tires filled with water and I looked at him like he was crazy. He laughed about that and said he hears it all the time. BTW, I live in Florida now.

Tractor is a lot more like a tractor with the loaded tires. It is really been wet around us lately and with hauling a woods trailer, the chains and weight have really been a plus. I did not think that a CK20 would be able to do all that it is doing.
Weight in wheels is a plus...more stability on hills and better traction. The rimguard seems to work well in the North East and as Island Tractor commented, it won't hurt the bushes if I get a leak in the field.

All and all, excellent input from TBN. Thanks. Would recommend following the recommendations on here for the front chains and the rim guard.
