Through the "swamp" there just fine, especially on that super cushy Kubota seat.

I finally got around to mounting 1 set of new tires front and rear on my "Good Friday" 520H after 22 years the original Dico brand were weather/dry cracked through the sidewalls only tubes were holding the air inside, @HorseFixer, Duke the 23x10.50-12 Nanco brand Ags mounted out to 9.5" not 10.50" but still more than 8" wide ,I don't think you would've been happy with that for your set up, but I'm OK with them being a bit narrow, means a bit more traction and bit less flotation for my intended purposes mowing,gardening, and snow pushing. The fronts are Trac Gard 16x7.50-8 turfs they were an PITA to seat the beads but got it done, had tire shop do the rears, also did inside MF approximately 45# and outside weights CC 30# on them and put my one off powder coated wheel covers on (they hide the "blue" weights that were originally MF red) all this today since I'm on 4-10 hour days now Friday is going to be project day, anyways here the goods, Jeff.

I suppose I should update as both of my 520s now have 100% all 4 corners Lawn Trac R1 AG tires 16x7.50-8 fronts and 23x10.50-12 rears and shown me from my experiences to be very good mowing grass, plowing gardens, grading dirt/stone driveways, and (no chains needed) snow removal.   BTW for all you guys that can't get them big enough for the rear @Achto@ebinmaine @WHX24   https://www.ebay.com/itm/392067872752.

:text-yeahthat:I’m going to be getting a set of those for Kelli’s REDxi.  With the loader on it...I am lacking for traction big times and those work great.  I have watched Jim’s plow mule in action and even at the mud fest at Uncle Bob’s back in August—those did great!

 

 Thanks for the update Jeff👍🏻👏🏻

Tires look great Jeff!!  I like the 24-12-12's. Not a terrible price on them either.

I especially like that considering that the fender pan design on the xi series isn’t conducive to tall tires.

:laughing-rolling:

I love mine. Traction, unless they load up with mud, is really good.  I think I paid even less but they are only 23s. They seem to run wide tho and wished I would have got them in 8.50. Think they would have fit in the furrow better and since this is a dedicated plow mule..... 

If you are thinking 23 10.5s Jack maybe we can work out a swap? These would be good tires for the xi.

I totally agree! You know how to get ahold of me when you are ready and we can discuss what you’d like to get out of/for them👍🏻😁

I'd go a strait up trade IF and a big IF we can find them in 23 x 8.50. I'm not seeing them. 

They do run short tho Josh you might be able to run 24's 

 

Lookin back I did get a heck of a deal ........  Ifn I recollect this was with shipping!

Thoughts on these?

Guess for the price wouldn't be afraid to givem a shot. 

 

Never mind that is for one tire.... guy  can do Firestone 23's for that price! 

Or is it for two? :confusion-confused:

Yes I've got Tru's on the 1067 when I did the build and have plowed with them and they did great with no weights or anything. Those are 8.50's and I prefer the strait sidewall look. I don't know why maybe It's just because they fit in a furrow best??

      Loosing power after 30–40 minutes use
      By RJ Hamner
      Now that we are finding more uses for the 1990 520H with a KwikWay loader I am experiencing some power loss in the hydro after about a half hour to 45 minutes??????
      Ideas?
    • lodestonefarm
      1995 520H, snow blower, 60" mowing deck
      By lodestonefarm
      Selling my trusty WH520H.  ~880 hours (currently used for moving snow when needed so hours may rise) very solid machine, strong and hardworking.  20HP Onan, hydro transmission and hydraulic lift.  Has Matt's foot-pedal conversion for forward/reverse.  Included in the sale is a tall-chute snow blower and 60" mowing deck.  The blower is in excellent condition and is on the tractor currently.  The mowing deck has been a workhorse over the years.  No holes but could use some TLC, probably needs new spindles at some point and could use a couple spots touched up with welder also does NOT have any pulley covers/protectors (see photo).  Tractor has been an incredible tool, very solid and dependable and I'm certainly going to miss her when she's gone.   
       
      Recent maintenance: replaced the plugs this summer, fluids as needed (hydro has about 100 hours on fluid/filter; oil was done in the spring and has about 25 hours on it).  Battery is about 3 years old as are the tires, Terra Trac tires on the rear and turfs on the front.  The seat (with arm rests) isn't in great shape.  I've got a cover for the seat, never used.  It's never really bothered me but new seat cover is included in sale as are 4 hub caps, chains for the rear tires, and some misc spare parts (see photos).  
       
      I've owed this machine about 8 year and put ~350 hours on her.  She's not a show piece but could be restored.  Sheet metal is generally in shape, no rust however the hood does have a couple dings in it.  
       
      I'm only selling because I'm trying to help my son get a small lawn care business started and looking to move to a zero-turn.  The 60" deck is too large for our trailer, the mowing deck lacks pulley safety shields, and we'd like something that mows faster.  My only complaint with this machine is the top-speed (which isn't great when comparing to today's machines) otherwise she's a beast.  They don't make them like this anymore.
