Unless your going to a mud pull, forget 18.4x38's,
a 'stock' 260 is dead in first, with that rubber.
Weight will not save you, nether will traction,
your forgetting to take some power with you. This
ratio might pull through with 80 hp. Perhaps 14.9x38's in first, 13.6x38's,pulling stock...
Your drawbar needs a hole drilled, to push it
forward: add pull weight to the rears. Lots of
techniques to 'improve' your stock of 'stock'.
Good luck in a bias color war.

sooo its not gonna be able to pull 4000 class? i thought it might just barely enough power to keep it going... i have like 6 ft brush hog with that big tires on it... it was working hard but did ok... that grass was like around 5 ft thick and bushy... so i was thinking it might be just enough to keep the tires moving if it stops... you have seen those with that tires like mine that didnt make it pulling? either 260 or 277 gas , it wont do the job??? i know its a big difference between that 14.9 and 18.4 tires.. about a foot bigger... i was hoping it wouldnt affect too much... might have to put smaller tires , you think? thanks for advices!
