Big Boys is such a nice family business. It's a pleasure to still have that around in this day and age. With all the good things I've heard about Litchfield I'll have to take a trip out there and check them out as well.

buy the weights, you can fill the tires later. On the old tractors finding weights is a big deal. I buy tractors for the long term and find that the options don't stay available.

Weights, chains, and rear services are no longer in the system on my tractor.

I have to say Big Boys Toys were the best, no presure what so ever, Dan (owner) talked tractor with me for about tow hours, Their dealership was twice the distance however worth it in my judgement. You won't meet two nicer owner. :thumbsup:

Our tires are so small when compared to other tractors that it makes me wonder how effective it would be to fill the tires. They won't hold much, so how much weight gain will you realize? It would seem to be a small benefit at best.

Rimguard lists weights by tire size: Rim Guard - Liquid Tire Ballast

The GC2410 would take about 88 pounds in each rear tire. Of course, other fill materials will vary somewhat.

I used mine for the first couple months with no tire ballast. I had to make a barrel filled with rocks and cement to put on the 3 pt., I had virtually no traction without it. Especially when using the FEL.

I got the tires filled with Rimguard, and the difference was totally amazing. I've taken the barrel off, and I actually have better traction with just the rimguard in the tires.

I never weighed my barrel, but it's heavy enough that my neighbor was concerned.

Evening fella's, "Most" Dealers suggest filling rear tires on every tractor that has a Front End Loader. My dealer would have to be convinced to not fill rears tires. All the power in the world with no traction is kinda useless in the tractor world. Might as well be a lawnmower.
