Just used my new tractor to move a water tank in the soup today.... Tractor is the same deminsions (few inches longer and wider) of my little red one and 1500 pounds heavier but the traction really sucked. Driving across a very slight grade and it was sliding downhill the whole way and I had to steer with the brakes. Hard going pulling the tank up a slight grade also. Tires are bigger than the little tractor had (12.4x32 vs 11.2x28) but about shot (new ones should be ready to mount next week).
Little tractor would go anywhere.... Think my problem is just the tires, or could the weight be proportioned different also??? Should I have the tires loaded when I get new ones next week or would it not make any difference (enough to make it worthwhile). Majority of driving is on pavement or gravel, just moving hay/water tanks on the pastures/paddocks themselves is tricky.
