These are stock 23x10.5x12. Amazon has them for $104 free shipping (if a prime member). They will be tubed, and filled with washer fluid.
V61's will go on the front. The ridges make a big difference when the plow is at an angle and the front wheels need some side to side bite. Those will be here Monday, but I have to say the last set I mounted were a PITA to get on the rims!
The rims will get wire brushed, sanded, primed, and painted. The last set I sandblasted and powder coated, but this set is getting paint. My weekend project before going back to the regular work schedule.
My experience has been this works better for me than chains. Too often the chains just spin on the pavement, or on the hills around my lot when I hit a rock (lots of granite here) again the chains just slip.
Lets see if I can get them all mounted timely...
Yes its a worker, especially in the Winter, and yes already some dings.
Heck, at one point my 11 year old ran it into the back of my pickup. He almost got it turned, but just didnt hit the brake quite quickly enough. Its good development for them to learn how to operate equipment, even if it costs me a ding or two. My 9yo daughter is a natural.
With any luck in another year I can turn over all snow duties to them. (lol, we will be fighting for who gets to plow snow - good thing is we have neighbors they can each do one).
Happy New Year! (ha! I got that tractor back together in 2015...)
