SylvanLakeWH 25,560 #403 Posted March 2, 2020 So... Will it pull a standard plow? Is fuel consumption similar to an 8 hp Kohler? Will it have enough power to pull a standard tub cart with fire wood in it? 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok Jim, i try to answer this questions as honestly as i can ... 😎😂😂😂😉 first question, i‘m sure it will do, maybe not the finest plow rows, but definitively the funniest plow waves.... 😇 😂 question 2 - on such a „small engine“ machine, fuel consumption is out of compare, because it’s a proof of concept for a new economy class 😎 that could be closer compared to a hot rod. 😂😂😂 last not least your final question - aehm, i guess it is able to pull a huge trailer, - except the brake situation, but i bet it will be able to bring you the firewood for a complete Wintersaison.🤪😂😂 ok, i think i must a little rethinkering about the brake thing in my scenario, but the Sound on the parade will be definitely a burner, and be that Cool even in idle. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never get off topic I’m not sure what they are, I blew up one picture and can make out “Traction” but that’s about it... maybe Master after that? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like OTL traction master, but that doesn't come up with anything as far as I can tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,884 #409 Posted March 3, 2020 Try OTR Traction Masters. It seems there are different model tires after that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I searched with a tire size, nothing but turf tires came up, but without a tire size listed they showed up. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rear is currently about 2-3” wider and will be widened another 3” or so. What a step back in time! Since February, this has been too narrow. Some spacers have been cut. 1” per side can be stacked up for now. The large holes clear the heads of the adapter bolts, the small holes will slide over the 5/8” studs 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,884 #415 Posted June 4, 2020 I know. The Lazy Builder Fairy has gone on vacation I guess. I have so many to-do’s on my list... and a couple extra GT14 frames. I’ve considered starting much of the project over completely with a heavier pair of frames and that big bad front axle! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
