    Fluid filled tires and water crossing.

    Water, Rim Guard, Calcium and Foam all have different weights. comparatively: Water = 1 Rim Guard = about 1.3 Calcium = about 1.3 Foam = about 1.4 (whole tire is filled) That being stated, if you are going to cross fast moving water of 2' or more with a small tractor regardless...

    Can't decide and looking for opinions. B or L.

    If your are struggling now, with a 100lb more you will be still struggling. 1000lb is 10X more than the b -that will make a difference. I would definitely go with the L.

    Kubota M4500dt stuck in gear will not move

    I do not know your particular tractor, but here are some suggestions. Have you tried letting the clutch in reverse? Did it die? Does it die as you are letting the clutch out - before it is completely out or after it is completely out? If it dies while you are letting it out check all of the...

    My cousin uses his 1/2 ton Chevy to pulls a 20' 10,000lb trailer with an L3830 with a fel and 6' rotary mower up and down a steep 3 mile private road in the mountain's. Of course his truck is set up for it. And YES, trailer breaks are a must.
