Re: TnT question

John, leak down, assuming no oil is leaking out anywhere, can be either the seals in the cylinders or it can be the valve. I have not noticed any leak down in my top link, but it seems the side tilt might leak down a little. That's another reason I have mine adjusted so it's level when the cylinder is completely retracted. Although I haven't gone to the trouble of finding out for sure if it's leaking down or if I've accidentally bumped that lever. I guess it would depend on how fast it's leaking down as to whether I'd go back to the dealer for correction.

I have Terra-Turf tires on my B7500 HST and I have lots of marks on the lawn, but I'm not whinning. I take my tractor on our hillside without worrying about the traction.
If I were only mowing, or only had level/dry conditions I'd go with normal turf tires.

Bo, are your rear tires Goodyear Super Terragrip Terratires? If so, could you post what size they are. I am thinking of putting 4 of these on my 2910.

Here's my "TAR" info.
Rear: Goodyear XTRA-TRAC Terra Tire 31 X 15.5 - 15 NHS (I may be able to get a pic of tire).
Front: Firestone Turf & Field 21 X 8.00 NHS (just a normal looking turf tire to me).

Been away from rthe site for some time now. Tractors havn't seemed too imporant to me since "it" happened. well, I'm back.
I have a BX2200 with a FEL and 280 weight on the rear. If I'm mowing (one pass) no tire marks. If I'm digging and they spin, well... that's obvious. In the sping when the rain comes, the gear is going to have to come off.
