LS XU6168
I bought this tractor with 600 hours on it. Didn’t seem like it had been overly worked based on that. Lately it feels like I’m driving around with a board strapped on the right rear tire. Sort of a “high point/low point” sort of ride.
Any ideas on what that might be?

Welcome to TBN...........
Is it possible your tires have liquid ballast that may have frozen?
Great point! First off I wasnt aware it cud freeze. We have warmer temps on the way so perhaps things will change.
Thanks for your input

Mine does the same. I have -20F WW antifreeze in mine but only notice it when on the road going to plow out my neighbors. Or it could be from the tires sitting in cold temps for a while. I get the same (what I call a flat spot) on my classic cars which sit all winter. When I take them out in the spring the thumping goes away after the tires warm up.

Fingers crossed it’s something that simple

Just a quick Thank You for you response to my original issue. Once the weather took a turn for the better, my issue corrected itself. No doubt frozen fluid in the tires! I’m scheduled to have that changed and corrected.
Really appreciate the help.

are you running it enough to get the tires warmed up. If a tire deforms and has a flat spot when it gets cold, the flat spot won't come out until the tire warms up enough for the tire to get soft. Nylon cord bias ply tires used to be infamous for taking a set if they sat for a while.

I haven’t had the “flat spot” issue to date. It seems that the fluid in my tires was frozen since things have gotten better. I have an appointment to have everything checked out and additional chemicals added to the tires so this won’t happen again. Thanks for the response
