Put 24x12x12 on a 416-H

[RED-Z06 2,479]

Since the 312-8 got scrapped, I had its 48" blade, wheels/tires, spacers, and stuff.  Cant find a half decent deck for the 416-H so its been chilling a while in the back of the shop, one of the original 1993 Deka turfs in back gave out a few months ago so i figured heck let's toss the fluid filled 24s on.  Fit great, lots of room, rubbed the tank frame without spacers, it definitely feels more stable, cant wait to hook up a plow.

I have no 1100s here. Folks say they're great.

Traction plowing on turfs has been its weakness, and those old turfs have deep plowed alot of ground.  But that 8 speed, i had it twisting the frame pushing crushed asphalt in 2nd Hi with the 48" blade.

I debated going with 12 wides but couldn’t find the ones I wanted at the time so went with 10.50. Still have to run about a 3/4” spacer   Mine are tucked up under the fenders about as much as possible without rubbing

I went 12s because tire sizes are so allover, these are basically 24x11x12.  Lots of room with 2" spacers.  Got to do something for front tires though.

My opinion- Nope. But only because I baby my hydros a little. The Eaton1100 will do most all of what you ask of it.

Hated to scrap the 312, but 1 shifter broke off in the trans and the other was about to, engine had a knock, it was rusted from 16 years in a field before i got it 3 years ago.  Rebuilt the locked engine, got the locked 8 speed going, i used it quite a bit.  But I knew the eroded shifters wouldn't last forever.

Might not be a bad idea to put those in Sparky's, Let's Talk Tires thread.
