If you've ever wondered what a Mudder tractor is used for or what it is, here you go. However, this is one of those situations where adding more tractors isn't helping.

Mudder tractors have to be lite weight to work in rice patties. They also use RICE TIRES (R2) that are typically 3X tall in the ribs over normal Ag (R1) tires.

We ran rice and cane tires on our JD 3020's. We grew spring potatoes in Florida. The 1970's were wet, we had to harvest in standing water. One tractor pulling the two row harvester and another chained to that one. And a tractor pulling the bulk body truck alongside the harvester. Fun times, unhook at each end and hook back up once we got turned around.
