If you follow here you have read about me filling my rear tires with Winshield washer fluid.

Well i wanted to report back my results.

If you mostly mow in an area you care about tracks i probly would not do it. My property was entirely watterlogged and there was not a place shy of the driveway gravel that i did not put lug marks of some depth into the ground.

But if you do mainly bushogging and foodplot work like me you will WANT TO FILL YOUR TIRES!!! I cant beleive i waited this long.

My tractor pulls my 4.5ft LMC disk (see my sig line) like a totally different tractor. Feels like a heavier tractor with several more HP. It pulls entirely different. Before i would get wheel slip and sometimes get stopped and have to work the 3pt taking pressure off the disk as i would have a tire break free and start digging a hole to china!! With the tire filled it just stuck to the ground pulling the disk in the heavy wet soil deeper than usual and no tire spin. the only thing i noticed was the lugs were digging the entire time when loaded up they just dug deeper it seemed. Before to get similar results i would have to hold the diff lock down to keep the spin under control and keep moving with minimal spin.

Before i could still do what i needed you just would have a tire break free and make a 1/4 or 1/5 of a spin or something then catch.

Congrats sounds like she responded well to the extra weight good job documenting it also! I know what you mean about the whole feel of them after wheel weight is added I noticed it too.

I was amazed myself mine even rode smoother I couldn't imagine that would happen but traction and tracks in the grass and dirt were definitely increased. So a little forethought is good before driving off onto something. :thumbsup:
