Siping / Regrooving Tool

[chim]

I've posted numerous times about mine. Check Post #652 in the thread below. This is the second tractor I've done and they do improve traction. I did recut the grooves in the fronts because I put some road miles on the tractor and the outside bars on the front tires wear down. I got tired of connecting to borrow a groover so I bought an Ideal with small and large blades.

I would have stopped shy of the outer edges, especially on the front tires, leaving some stability in that area.

It's for the same reason as I prefer closed shoulders on the steer tires on pickups and trucks. My fronts tend to wear quickly as it is, and allowing the shoulder tread blocks to squirm a lot wouldn't exactly help.

I cut my tires to the edge on front of my second L6060. Have 2 with R-4 tires. The one I did not take to the shoulder will push sometimes in the snow vs biting in and Turning. Used #4 cutter 1/4" deep.
