I just put new summit trail climber AT’s in 285/75r16 on my f-350 and it was just shy of $700.

Those look good too.
Have you gotten that j-red 2150 I sent you up and running yet.

 

[Nate.]

I haven’t, I’ve been trying to source a 346 cylinder for it. Fix my toys on eBay had them for about $120 but they are out of stock now. I think I might be able to get them through SLE equipment for about $100 though.

Got a brand new battery for ye old tractor this morning!


I am not gonna sit in the cold & dark at the end of the day, tractor engine not turning because of a dead battery (out of my moms car, old, dead, too small) just cause my dad finds the expense of a new battery not worth the limited usage our tractor gets.

I HATE questionable reliability and running into issues with equipment when I need it to work!!!

Now, when I don't drive much tractor, I charge the battery once a month

 

[HumBurner]

No, it's the tire shop's
I'd have way more "friends" if I had a lift like that.....lol

Yessir.
I've got the same thing on the rear of the Yukon & they're holding up very well.... and at $700 otd, it's pretty cheap in today's stupid world

Wow! My last set of tires was $1100 or $1200!! Nothing fancy, either. 265/70r17/10-ply

 

[HumBurner]

Spotted this for £120 ($150) and grabbed it, to play with. Brand new. The dogs haven't been fitted and were in the toolkit with the fittings for them.

Should there be something connected to these screw holes?

I'd be interested to hear how it runs.

I'd blame Cal, but @Nate. Is there and he paid about what I did here in America.....
Maybe being 17" costs $4-500 more?

That’s what I’m running here in Calorado. Name brand, but still.

 

[Nate.]

Ya name brand tires are more for sure. The Summits are a off brand. I’ve found Walmart to be good for tires if you keep an eye open they go on sale & you can get tires pretty cheap.

 

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

I got my last set of 275-70R18 Firestone transforc a/t for 500.00 bucks. They had about 2000 miles on them, new take offs. That's how I buy my tires.

My tractor never runs much, once every couple months.

My tractor ran on "defective" car batteries for the past couple decades.
This works so-so in the summer, but not in the winter.
I am expecting extended winter vacation.
I hope to clear a property of mine from brush (mostly wild hazel, decent firewood) and storm damage.
To do so I NEED my tractor to run/start reliably.
I also need to push LED work light upgrade, days are just too short in the winter!

My dad is just an old fart that won't replace anything running after half a day of messing with it - I can not relate to that.

My dad doesn't even know I purchased a new battery for the tractor, I intend to install it without him knowing.
Couldn't do it today as he was hovering around the yard.

Bought gas at Costco. 45 cents per gallon less than the local stations. That’s kind of like ‘Black Friday’ savings.

sounds exactly like my dad! Never replace something you can squeeze a little more life out of. Even at the expense of half your day spent tinkering with it.

My parents grew up during a time when labor was cheap, and ‘things’ were expensive.

Sometimes i do stuff just to see if I can.

[Nate.]

Yessir, I also enjoy bringing stuff back to life & refurbishing old tools but I usually do it for enjoyment not because I need that tool.
