WheelhorseBob 1,549 #1 Posted April 18, 2021 They make the rocking world go round! got the 24-12-12 Carlisles mounted with a set of Farmall weights on her. I really like the way they look on this tractor. I think the added stability will be good when I get the loader on as well. For perspective, the 23-10.5-12 Deestones. 7 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes ‘this tractor has a very nice Kwikway loader and was the reason for all the upgrades like the swept front axle and fatty tires. It will be on in the next couple of weeks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks to a forum member for letting me know they would fit. They have to go to the outside however. The hole isn’t big enough for the Hub to pass through.

roadapples 6,983 #10 Posted April 19, 2021 You'll need about 250lbs more weight, ballast, for a loader... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My tractor has the ballast box which mounts to the rear hitch and sub frame. I might just get the tires filled with beet juice too. Pic before I updated the front end and did a hasty restore. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turftech 82 #14 Posted April 21, 2021 Yes the Carlisle tires we buy for the golf course have small made in China stampings on the inside of the tire casing. The easy way to tell with China tires MFG since late last year, the tire size is now in English & metric on the side wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
