John Deere with duals
- Thread starter CRF6179
- Start date
will be a few broken axles in someones future.
Outside of being able to say "I did it", what's the point??
Tires too perfectly aligned for that I'd say. On the right rears I can see the cadium plated bolts that hold them together. Fronts have a yellow tube that aligns and connects them. Still, a lot of trouble and expense for no good reason.
hard to say from the pics if those tires are actually mounted to the tractor but the sad fact is that many people do add duals and somehow believe it will result in more traction... when in reality it reduces traction because you now have less weight per square inch of tire that contacts the ground... the sole purpose of having duals on a full size farm tractors is to reduce soil compaction but garden tractors do not have enough weight for that to even be a concern
Especially during wet conditions. The reason they have tracks on the big tractors and combines.
We had a guy here coming to the GT pulls for a couple years with a JD314 and dual 12" wide AGs on the back... he quit coming around cause the young kids with stock tractors on 8" wide hdap tires were pulling the sled further than he could.
I have a set of dual adapters and tires for a cub cadet. Put them on once to see what it looked like. Looked cool. Took them off
I think 6" dual AGs would look cool on my Bolens RaM.... but Im pretty sure it would be completely useless in as little as 1" of snow so thats not an option for a canadian winter.Lol
Steiner and Ventrac both sold articulated mower/tractors with duals on both ends.... I would guess they would be more stable on hills as long as it doesnt rain.
Are those garden tractors, Lance? I have seen gigantic Ag tractors with duals all the way around.
