So many questions If it was me I would get another brand. They run so small they're not even a representative of the numbers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can be a source of good used tires at an extremely reasonable price. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Easton Rich 312 #30 Posted November 29 Ok, I think a town near me has a jd repair shop with a bunch of similar sized tractors. I’ll check there 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've bought several sets of various tires from Simple Tire. Price is excellent. Free shipping. Excellent service. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Easton Rich 312 #32 Posted November 30 I checked them out, they’re cheaper than Carlisle but still expensive. Do they run direct size? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,839 #33 Posted November 30 8 hours ago, Easton Rich said: I checked them out, they’re cheaper than Carlisle but still expensive. At $80 each for a 10.5 wide tire that's VERY competitive. I actually ordered 4 of these yesterday for future use. The Deestones aren't much less money but sure are less tire. You'd have to buy used to pay less. 8 hours ago, Easton Rich said: Do they run direct size? I haven't seen any reviews stating an answer yet. I'll know in a few weeks.

I’m very interested The LED thread shows two different LED upgrades. The LEDs are simple positive and negative, and I ran a switch and power direct to the battery. The amp draw is so small that it makes almost no difference. As far as assembling the lights, that is in pics of the LED thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easton Rich 312 #48 Posted 9 hours ago I got to use my hobo freight spray gun today, very finicky I’ll leave it at that. This little tractor has turned into quite a money pit. 150 in painting stuff, 160 in tools and another 50-100 in miscellaneous. 810 dollars roughly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But really though.... I've spent 3 times that. Easy. And I'd do it again repeatedly. These tractors aren't just a machine. They're a permanent piece of equipment for our tool arsenal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
