Chris 642 #27 Posted November 26, 2014 Ooo yes, I like the look of wide rubber... Very nice Chris.. If you ballast the tyres it will become unstoppable I have a mate who has a dead HT20 c/w rear wheel weights. He does not want to sell them to me..........................Yet! 2 Ian and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #28 Posted November 26, 2014 I like them That's why C4 has 24 12 12's on, can't beat big rubber! 1 Lauber1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauber1 51 #29 Posted November 26, 2014 the only trouble with wide tires is if your going to plow, they ride up on the turned earth in the furrow. I find its almost better to add weights and go with a narrower tire. Sometimes I run duals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree, but you can't beat it for looks 2 Lauber1 and bowtiebutler956 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 2,417 #32 Posted November 27, 2014 I have a mate who has a dead HT20 c/w rear wheel weights. He does not want to sell them to me..........................Yet! You could always fit inner tubes and fill them with a water/screen wash mix.. I did that when I had big rear tyres fitted to my WH 312-8.. The traction was amazing and the slight sloshing sound was relaxing 1 Lauber1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robins 55 #33 Posted November 27, 2014 Why screen wash Ian, rather than an anti freeze/coolant and water soloution? I'm thinking i may do that on my 312-8 The water in the tube ballast thing that is, i already have the wide AG's Although nothing like as grippy and cool looking as these you have Chris!

I am sure you will eventually wear him down. Don't stop at the wheel weights, you need to aim to buy the complete tractor. Iain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The traction was amazing and the slight sloshing sound was relaxing I could have fitted them tube less & filled them with water. I do have a water balasting valve tool at work which would have done the job I am sure you will eventually wear him down. Don't stop at the wheel weights, you need to aim to buy the complete tractor. Iain I would if he offered. Would make you cry if I told you what he paid for it, it did me! He did burn a few tanks of fuel to collect it though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Screen wash won't freeze and it's far less harmful to the environment than anti-freeze should it leak out 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slf-uk 914 #38 Posted November 29, 2014 I was chatting to a buddy in the US last night and he has just bought a pair of new chevrons 23x10.5-12 for his Bolens H16 and he ended up paying the same price for a pair that we would pay for a single tyre, which was about £70. At that price I would be very happy to call them "tires" rather than "tyres" Iain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
