Ballast Filling Rear Tires on 1700

[SailorBob]

I finally got both my wheels swapped and the tires filled on my 1700 this weekend. The extra width and extra weight sure made a big difference. It certainly reduces the "pucker factor" on hills.

I also installed an over-run clutch. I can't believe how much easier it makes my brush cutter to use. I also makes shifting gears easier. Before the clutch I would have to wait for the hog to almost stop spinning before shifting between forward and reverse. Now it is smooth as butter.

This forum has great information for us new tractor owners. I would never had know about either of those enhancements with out the formun.

Thanks guys
