    sickle bar mower question

    Tires  tire question

    Just to review my thoughts.... My CC will be used to put boats and other trailers on the front of the tractor. I've used 2 ply tires, but not that sure how much loading they'll take. Would 4 ply be better, loadwise? Or does it really matter?

    anyone know where to find these hitches?

    I was admiring the electric hitch on Johnny Bucket for cubs. That's probably what I'll get. I have a 3205 and wondered if there's anyplace that makes a manual hitch similar to these: Craftsman Sleeve Hitch - Model 24536 at Sears.com If so, where would I find one?
