No traction

[1930]

Im always on the lookout for a B6100 4WD parts tractor. My tractor is just horrible in the sand, really limits me on what Im able to do. Im hoping once I get something down on top of that sand Ill be able to do more with it.

In the meantime I thought Id post some good examples of whats for sale in Fl

Kubota L235 For Sale Or Trade - farm & garden - by owner - sale

Kubota Tractor Project - heavy equipment - by owner - sale

Kubota b61 - farm & garden - by owner - sale

Heres mine

I wonder if its possible to add an extra set of outboard wheel/tires to this tractor?

You might pull up some dune buggy photos and check out their tires. Very little in the way of traction bars on fat, smooth tires. Maybe try some turfs and if they don't do it, add chains, but not the complete set, just maybe 4 cross chains, with just chain, not the cleated chain, like for ice, and low air pressure.

Have you tried airing the tires down? You want as little pressure in those tires as you can get away with without coming off the bead.

You can also turn the tires around, swap sides, we used to do it when trying to harvest peanuts in doodle bug/blowsand before radials came along

Tracks might be a better option for you.
