Tires JD LA115

[leonz]

Well seeing as I bought and paid for a 2010 JDLA115 today;
and paid $3,650.40 including delivery;

with:

1. snow chains
2. 42 inch mower deck
3. rear suit case wieght mounting frame
4. rear suitcase wieghts
5. 44 inch 2 stage snow blower


I have to wait for 2 weeks before I get it home.
theres more weather coming next week!!!!

I hope it really shows up this week though as
they had to order the snowblower.


ANYWAY, have any of you loaded the rears with some liquid ballast?

I was thinking about using 4 gallons of windshield washer fluid per tire.


I have enough trouble with traction issues as my Wheelhorse
loses traction in a lot of the area's where I mow.

About the rears(I have no manual yet) are they attached with a castle nut and cotter key?

ANYWAY I am hoping to buy a hard cab next year as thats on my wish list as the soft ones are always ending up yellowing the clear plastic with age.

Is the JD115 hard cab from John Deere or another builder?

this received advice applies only to my Husqvarna hydro drive
on a hydro do not add wheel weights do not load the tires reason a hydro drive needs to be able to slip or it may/will damage the hydro gear unit just go with a weight box and chains
no one countered this advice in their replys

I do have the rear suitcase weights and rear wieght bracket mounted purchased and arriving next week when it is delivered. I just hope the snow that they are predicting will not materialise
