I bought a Kubota M4000 years ago with a loader. I used it in all kinds of weather with no tire problems. A couple of weeks ago we had a cold spell, lows teens and 20s, highs barely above freezing. One rear tire froze. I think the previous owner said it had antifreeze in it, but like I said it was years ago. Drove tractor enough so that the ice ruined the tube. Got some help and wee took the wheel off, used a boom pole and chain to load it on a small cattle trailer, upright, chained it to one of the uprights. Took it to tire store where they removed tube, found a 1/2 inch cut in it, so I called for new tube. They installed the new tube, I did not have and antifreeze or water installed. Got home, unloaded tire by myself, put it on tractor by myself. At first the wheel was slightly off the lug bolts, so I rechained the wheel off center slightly so that the wheel turned in the right section when I picked the wheel up again. Managed to get a couple of lug bolts sticking through the holes and it was all over then, tightene lug nuts on the expose bolts, slightly, and worked my way around. Put all the tractors up, the tools up, and was inside before dark. Snow on the ground next morning and we were back to cold temperatures. not supposed to have to do this in my part of SC. I feel for you guys that have to work in the cold all winter. Weather now is warmer, but don't know how long it will last.
BTW, how much antifreeze is needed in a 14.9 x 28 tire?

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
