Traction Tractor on the Beach??

For me the tractor would be next to useless without them so were well worth the money. The rears are unverferth but I had to make the front ones myself as they dont make them in my size.

Can't help you out with advice on tractoring on the sand. But a tractors bucket is generally used for debris, light duty material, etc. When you bucket a load of sand, especially wet stuff, it's probably too much weight. Than throw in the fact of unstable ground,i.e. sand, could be a bit tippy. We all overload our buckets. My unit will pick up any amount of wet gravel, but the tractor feels it. I try to stay in the 2/3's or less capacity with heavy materials. Those sub-compacts are nice units, but tippy as all get out on unlevel ground.

Just in the FWIW department, the 54" bucket was an optional bucket on the 12LA loader. It is the same loader that I have on my TC-24D. I also have the 54" bucket. I'm working in a different evironment, but I have to clean out a little creek that runs through our property when the sand/silt builds up in it. I have windshield washer fluid in my rear tires. If I remember correctly, it was about 23 gallons in each of the rear tires. I have not swapped the tires from side to side. If I'm going to be doing a lot of heavy loader work I will put something rotary cutter, box blade, or since it sits outside and is the most convenient to put on, my 60" rototiller. It certainly helps when trying to lift a bucket full of wet (water running out of it) sand and the front tires are sinking.
