What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

[TimberFarm]

The tire shop said they had that size tire, but it was in straight ag pattern. I told the guy I only have 100 hrs on it and I will wait for it.
When I ordered my tractor in '22 there were two holdups: the FEL, and these Goodyears.

Yeah when I was shopping I got the sorry, don’t know when or if we will get any large tractors with the 14s. Might need to find a set for my tc45 if it lives that long to kill the new R4s I put on. The last pair made it 5000 hours.

That's what I am thinking. These tires will take forever to wear out.
Now if I can just make sure not to hit any more hidden stumps. This split stump was shaped like an ax head with the blade pointing up.

One good thing about dull rounded over blades on a brush hog, it doesn't leave near as many sharp stumps as instead of slicing them off it breaks them up and shatters them more.

They don't call 'em Goodforayear tires for nothin'.

Well, got the word from the tire dealer that Goodyears says tire on backorder and expected date is end of June.
They offered me a "loaner tire" and then also said they were sending it to another repair facility to see if they can vulcanize it.
I just had some skin cancer cut off yesterday and have stitches for the next two weeks. I told him it was nice to offer the "loaner tire" but I am down myself, so I would wait and if they can fix my tire, all the better.

I guess it just depended on dealer location. When I bought my 573 all they offered were the R14's. Said that's the way they shipped them. I hope they last as long as the R-4's I have on my little NH.

Goodyear is pushing the R-14's. Seems crazy not to have them in stock rather than "back ordered".
I'm interested to see if the other repair facility can fix the tire and the repair cost. Sorry this happened to you.

8 foot fork extensions for the win!
Took everything she had.

 

[Diggin It]

I wouldn't do that.


But I'd be curious to see if the stump grinder could be mounted up front somehow. Might be easier to operate and move.

OK, stop keeping us in suspense...What's in the crate?
BTW, I have been keeping my eye open for somebody selling 10' fork extensions for the right price so I can move my shed.
