Duals and YouTube channel

[TJ5208 1,824]

Here's my tractor with duals or well just set the tire beside it how long of carriage bolts do i need and my first video under tj salyers scrapped all the paint so I can repaint it and get all the rust from underneath the paint the front tire  so hope you like it more videos in the future

Bolt length would depend on the spacer you are using...

[TJ5208 1,824]

Do I have to use a spacer is it a good idea to fill all four tires with liquid rears or should I stick with singles I have new train and I don't have very much of a bumpy ride except when I get it towards the woods should I stay with singles or duals I pull alot of dead weight and trailer so do you think it's a good idea

[953 nut 55,321]

You will need to have a spacer to hold the two rims and tires apart. Do a search on here to see what others are doing.

[TJ5208 1,824]

Well I do pull lots of weight and I think duals will help

[OldWorkHorse 3,045]

Not sure what type of surface your pulling the weight on but from my experience duals spred the weight of the rearend over more surface so to me singles would bite into the ground better for more pulling power vs floating on top of the ground. Just my  maybe I'm wrong? 

[TJ5208 1,824]

Dirt i plan on filling the tires are 22 7 50 12 and they're signed by Wheel Horse so maybe that'll help

[TJ5208 1,824]

Can you run RV antifreeze and slime to stop leaks on the tires at the same time

[TJ5208 1,824]

I seen where people use PVC rings for spacers

[TJ5208 1,824]

Here's some don't know if it pvc or not

They are usually available from Miller Tire or on the big auction site.

 

Duels add a real margin of safety when using a loader, but the axles take a beating.

[TJ5208 1,824]

So are you saying I shouldn't use them

[OldWorkHorse 3,045]

Cool factor I tottaly would but unless using loader or trying to spread ur weight out or on alot of slopped land I'd prob stick to singles myself. 

[TJ5208 1,824]

Would they help pulling dead weight and trailers and stuff like that that's my plan spread out weight for more traction

[roadapples 6,983]

Personally, I  think you'd be better off adding weight than width. I'm not a fan of duals, but it's yours. Make it the  way you want it.

[TJ5208 1,824]

You for telling me that I probably will and I probably won't I'm not sure I want to get some more input on them so thank you for the information

[TJ5208 1,824]

Can you also put liquid and slime in the tires at the same time because one of my front tires leaking around the rim so would I be able to put the slime in the liquid in to

[TJ5208 1,824]

I do pretty much have some flat ground around here without a bunch of bumps on it so it shouldn't be too hard for the duals 

 

[SylvanLakeWH 25,600]

Here’s a build I did with duals.

Kept hardly any air in outside tires to keep impact on axles to a minimum. Only did it for the look. Personally, I’d stick with single for a worker... 2” wide 12” diameter pvc pipe spacer and 10” bolts...

Cool and fun but took up too much shop space...

 

 

 

[TJ5208 1,824]

 nice-looking tractor I'm probably going to put duals on him now I've already convinced myself for the cool Factor

My guess would be no cuz the rv fluid would wash away the slime.

I've seen that tractor before on here I think I was looking up duals

[ebinmaine 67,627]

Tj make sure you run very little air pressure in the outside tire. That'll keep some of the tension off the axles. 

 

Maybe 8 to 10 pounds on the inside and 5 or lower in the outside. 

Makes it so the outside tire can flex more.

The last of the dual kits from Wheel Horse included special hardened axles, what does that tell you?

Didn't know WH offered a kit.  Got a part number or info? 

Wonder what was different about the hardening?
