Row crop tires?
Had my first breakdown on the new 106 today, one of the maypop tires on the front went flat. In this particular case, the tire, rim, bearings, and spindle are all pretty well shot. I had it apart the other day and did a quick fix to hold me through until it broke again. Now it broke again and it looks like I'll have to buy some parts.
The plan for this tractor is strictly Gardening. The plan is to pull a plow and a cultivator, and teach the kids how to row crop. To cultivate, I'd prefer the tallest and skinniest tires I can get, and the rear tires need to track directly behind the front.
Looking for tips and tricks from the experts here. No, I'm not trying to install any kind of planetary gears, crazy lift kits, but if theres a size or pattern that you'd reccomend, please do. An extra inch of ground clearance will make w world of difference to my potatoes.
I'm assuming that I'd be best with a tri rib front tire and an ag tread rear. Budget minded choices preferred. I need tires and wheels.
I have 2 sets of turf tires, 23/8.5-12 and 23/10.5-12, I believe (they're standard sizes) on wheels. Which of those should get filled with washer fluid and used to push a snow plow in the winter and pull a sled at the fair? I have a set of chains.
A set of the cheapest possible used wheels and tires for the front of the 127 would be great, too.
