Well, I should have checked the air pressure on all four corners when the tractor arrived. Afterall, Clementine hails from warm and sunny Carolina, and now lives in sub-zero Vermont. But I was having so much fun puttering around moving snow here and there that I never got around to reaching for the tire guage.

Lost the bead on the left front this afternoon and all that lovely ethanol-water antifreeze gushed out in the snow! /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif Got the tire reinflated just fine, but it's no longer loaded. Not sure whether to take it in for refilling...or to let the liquid ballast out of the other side. Afterall, the FEL provides plenty of weight up front.

On the plus side, I went with the ethanol/water mix on the advice of my vet, who told me my five dogs wouldn't like it. He was right. They hate the smell of ethanol!

Pete,
It sounds like you have some explosive tires there. Is that safe??

Todd, I wasn't going to admit it, but I tried to light a bit of the fluid. No luck at all.
