6 ply tires on a garden tractor would be rugged for sure. Sidewall would likely hold you up without air.

Thanks for the pics Don. We talked before about our Springers. I'm not sure if I told you that my first born had four legs. Brandy was a 10 week old liver and white pup when she joined Mrs.K and me in 1964. Her Baroness Brandywine had a pedigree traceable back to England with many champion field trial relatives. She responded eagerly to our training and taught me how to send hand, voice and whistle signals that she must have remembered from a previous life. I have many stories of Brandy, as I know you have about Lucy, demonstrating how well these amazing animals respond to training. I don't have a beautiful collection of photos like you have of Lucy, but here is Brandy showing off what she loved to do. And her mate Barney that joined us several years later. .

Do people actually pay the substantially high prices for WHs?

I have redone 2 non-runners, one rat one "nice", had a blast doing it and riding them, then sold them for a slight loss... worth every penny. Never expected to make money... Have also purchased 3 pretty rare 's... weren't cheap due to their relative scarcity... batteries etc... again sold two at slight loss but loved learning about them and using them... very cool! Profit? Never expected or anticipated it... Just a great hobby and a great way to get kids working on and using tools and machines... -
I'm just thinking...it's the end of January, we are all kind of stuck inside,,,let's have some fun getting through the rest of the winter.. Maybe some caption this pictues would help get us through this late winter stuff. Here is one thing to think about...Maine has no snow and they are having snowball fights on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Doesn't that make you want to have a Hurricane from Pat O'Brians'?

I have seen a few wood stoves on here but not as many as I would have suspected from some of you. So far ours have come in handy this year mostly using the one in the basement and a little on the first floor. We do have a new Boiler as of December of this year. More on that later. With 5 heating zones and 1 for domestic hot water. The electric hot water tank was removed a couple of years ago ,tired of the electric bill. A few pictures of ours, a 1975 Vermont Castings in the basement and a Vermont Castings Intrepid in the living room, first floor. Almost forgot the Jotul 602 in the Cabin. Post them up .

I like peanut butter but I prefer it in this form: Yum...

The Carlisle Tru Power Commercial Grade 6 ply looks fine on my C160-8 Cinnamon Horse with 7" wheels. Those are RUGGED tires. I may have a Carlisle turf in a 10.5 too.

I googled "Ninja Doggies" for those pictures. It is really amazing what you can find on "imagies" for anything you want to say... Randy, remember that I am a dinosauar ! Oil never gets older than it already is.

LOVE peanut butter 🥜 High in protein and good fats. Nutritious and deeeelicious. I eat more than I probably should admit.

Don...nothing is off topic in this thead. That is why I started it. BTW...love the Ninja dog on the sunken post on the ocean. If she was sitting on her hind legs with her paws up...Holy Cow...what movie was that??

@Ed Kennell okay Ed these are not fire trucks but Lucy is on top of them. Sorry for getting off topic! This should probably be in the pets thread. She also ran a 74’ LCM Korean War vintage landing craft in her previous job!

RED-Z06 replied to RED-Z06's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I agree, WHs generally will be a break even at best, unless you just ask some ridiculous number and wait for a sucker. I sell alot of Zmowers, ill buy one, clean, for 600ish, put about $500 into it, sell it for 2800-3300, im licensed and pay my state taxes so its a business for me, ill take in a few clean modern riders a year, flip them for 300-400 profit. But if i listed a mower that normally sells at 3000, for 9000+, id expect to catch criticism for missing the market. -
Yes, it looks good and the 7" wheels are much easier to find. Now, the Dico tires are more round shaped than the Carlisle so I don't know what a Carlisle would look like on the narrower wheel.

How to get better traction in the woods
ebinmaine replied to Alrashid2's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I had great suspicions there was something incorrect and unfortunate in your history. Chains, when installed CORRECTLY, make NO noise. They are so tightly held to the tire that they are unable to move thereby unable to rattle or clink or tink or anything like that. A chain that is loose and able to make noise is absolutely not doing its job correctly. Could be too big. Could be worn. Could be installed incorrectly. Could be any number of things. I'd be willing to bet good money that you're making more of a mess spraying ground surface around with your turf tires then you would be with PROPERLY INSTALLED chains that DON'T SPIN. better informed and have proper equipment..... I stand by my original response. Properly installed chains ARE the answer that you're looking for. -
