Yes, it's a grand feeling to see Red safe
If the claim is denied or doesn't cover deductible, Red's gonna push/pull that carport apart

I am thinking the insurance adjuster will give you x amount of money and leave everything up to you as to what you want done.

tradosaurus - THAT is so funny :laughing:
Whatever happened to that guy? or girl? or it?
OMG...I drove to town today and the 2-mile mud road nearly stopped me! It is the worst I've ever seen in the 10 years living here. Dumbo neighbors got stuck twice trying to haul water with a trailer in knee deep slimey mud. The other neighbor stuck their Suburban. And the other old guy stuck his brand new(!) suv-thingy. Such a mess they made and the ruts are soooo deep
My truck ain't so purdy right now
Question about the rear tractor tire being deflated...it has the calcium ? ballast in it from Idaho and I think that's why it didn't go completely flat. Does it need to go to a shop to find the leak and be repaired? Pretty sure holding up the carport caused this cuz it was fine the day before when I drove it. I don't want to drive with it low and ruin the tire.

Most likely, the tires did not get lower but some of the snow melted off the roof so it sprung back up a little bit.
With loaded tires if you have a leak they will be obvious because the liquid will be leaking out.

Drive the tractor slowly to rotate the rear tire's valve stem until it is all the way up at the 12 o'clock position.
Then fill the tire with air to the point where it matches the other, or has the amount of air pressure in it that you want.
Check it in a week to see if it's deflated any again.
May just be the cold weather change in the tire.

Another TBN member near you reported 22” of snow, and how his roads are all mud also.

I fill my tires to the right pressure in the fall because it seems cold temperature makes the pressure lower. My tractors are filled with fluid and it doesn't take a big imagination what kind of mess you will have if it runs low on air and you run the bead off the rim. The weight of the roof did not make your tires get low. I think it is just a gradual air loss, unless you see a puddle. Fil the up to the prescribed pressure while the valve stem is at the top.
And the heat. Plus Hurricanes, alligators, scorpions, copperheads, cottonmouths, diamondbacks and other various poisonous snakes,People are why I don't!!

Glad to hear you got your tractor safe.
Yep. Just had to adjust ALL my tractor, trailer, and vehicle tire pressures due to colder temps and I'm in FL.

Oh my!! That is horrible. The storm had blowing snow and it came down hard and fast. Those folks must have gotten stuck and tried to find their way.
What a terrible tragedy....

Funny how a place you've never heard of shows up in a couple of unrelated website stories just a couple of days apart.

I haven't read the whole thread, for all I know you may have already "solved" this.
My 2/5 of a nickle;
LEAVE IT ALONE !
It is the insurance company's problem and ANYTHING you do that worsens the situation will be YOUR FAULT
and (likely) not covered.
Even if you improve things and the professionals come along and turn it bad they could blame you.
Oh yeah, not to mention that the whole damned thing could come down ON YOU !
No tractor is worth getting hurt for, it is a tractor, that is all it is.
