This is after doing a little pea stone grading. I sunk right in. But it got itself right back out. Love the traction those loaded tires give me...

Is pea stone the same as what we call pea gravel? If so that stuff is very slippery....nice to walk on barefooted but ....
BTW love the tires... all four corners. |

| Probably is Phil, just very tiny stone. I need to flatten an area of it out. But it is very muddy underneath and I sunk right in when the blade started grabbing. I got the front AG's in the hopes it would help steer in the snow while using my grader blade for plowing. I think it does help, or at least I'll keep thinking so to justify the cost of getting them and having them loaded as well! They weigh about 24lbs a piece. |

I think I'll be loading my fronts...Whenever I use a rear mounted attachment I struggle to keep the tires on the ground. The extra steering help would be welcome in the winter too...except I do a lot of 'up and over' pushing with the 46"...
It's neat to see how everyone uses their equipment! |

And a keen eye will see my grader blade is actually reversed, so it doesn't dig in to the driveway stones when I plow snow. I also have the front tires of my 101 loaded so when I load up the carry all box. They help along with the front weight for ballast.

I'm not at all familiar with the carry all box, except from what you've posted in the past. Does it connect to your rear lift, as well as the hitch?
That's one purdy tractor...alwasy thought so.f |

| Yea these tractors will go through a lot and get out. Mine amazed me driving over piles of dirt and such this week. Where did you get the dual wheel attachment? |

| I have the 'ring' style aftermarket dual setup, but would love to find an original set, or reproduction. I haven't stumbled on the right scrap to make some yet, but when I do, I would make several extras. |

I've never seen that post before, but did hit up their site this morning and saw your tractor! I had some additional questions for him regarding spacers for the loader, and while I love the look, don't think dual spacers to hook up dual wheels is a great idea on my rig's RH side. The studs would have to be a mile long, and it just doesn't feel right.
I'll know more as my project progresses, and I line the subframe up the first time. I would love a set of 6-12's on the outside, but haven't found the skinny rims yet.
I didn't know the carryall had dump capability! Oh no, that's working it's way up my list too! =] |

| It is a fun attachment, one of my favorites. I haul the kids around in it mostly, or haul the shotguns out to where we shoot clay pigeons and such. Mostly fun. However the picture above was the day I heaped it full of sand, and was quite surprised when even with roughly 24 pounds in each front tire, and the front 35 pound weight, it would barely turn. Once I calculated how much wet sand I had in it I realized I had about 700 pounds in it! Oops. It is rated for 350lbs. Won't do that again!! |

| That's funny, I told him he was more than welcome to use the photos I sent, and he did! Weird to see my tractor on their site! |

Checked out that site too. Thanks for posting that. I didn't know anyone made the dual wheel kit. Something for me to consider getting |

| I was going to ask if you noticed a 'need' for it with the loader...it's all over the manual. "must use with duel wheel kit'. |

| Yea it does... But my concern is like Jon said i fear it may break or mess up the rear axle from the stress. It would definitely help with traction, currently i have 300 pounds counter weight. I should just load the rear tires up. |
