Tires - Are ATV tires even better than ags?
Comments (7)When I back my tractor out of my shed I have to prop the door open so it won't close while I'm pulling out. usually I get off the tractor and close it after that, but today I left it open, and ten minutes into cutting my grass I caught the aluminum edge with my tire. I didn't slash the tire immediately, and if I'd just stopped what I was doing and eased my way out of the situation I probably would have saved the tire, but instead I did the knee-jerk reaction and immediately hit the reverse pedal. In less than a second my tires went from 20psi to zero, leaving an inch-wide slash right in the sidewall. I never liked those tires anyway, but it's a shame I ruined a tire that still had the nubs on the tread. The tractor's a John Deere GT series, with 23x10.5x12 Titan Turf Master, I think. They weren't exactly great tires when it comes to traction. My yard is nearly flat, but I have a drainage ditch along the street which is graded and sodded, but about a 30 degree slope (enough that I have to hang onto the uphill fender to stay in my seat). It gets a little hairy mowing that and I've lost traction a few times trying to turn out of it or cross it perpendicularly. I've been thinking about getting some more aggressive tires, like the ones on the X700 series. Or possbly some ATV tires. Is there any real difference in the construction between ATV tires and tractor tires? I mean it's not a different bead profile on the rim or anything, right? I like the Maxxis Bighorns. I also like the All-Tracs, although they're only a 2pr and 16lbs, vice 6pr, 21 lbs of rubber for the Bighorns. I'm also looking at the Carlisle AT-489, which are $88 for 23x10x12 at jack's small engines. I need to get something soon. I don't want to have to push my lawn, but if I don't figure something out soon, I'll be walking around with green shoes. -Chris...See MoreTell me about 'White Wall Tires'?
Comments (4)Melissa, I acquired WWT in the spring of 08. it's doing fine. no frost dieback of which I have a few that got it. I was thinking because of the white that it would be suseptipal to the cold. average growth rate. I bought it to do some hybrid crosses with it. I hope it blooms this year. it starts going green in June for me. it does stand out right now among the others, because of the contrast. I bought mine from Naylor Creek at a open house. it wasn't in the 08 catalog. I can look it up in my Hosta Finder if you like.

Comments (23)ebear geezz... I haven't been on here in moons. I know you were up and down about the steam mop from way back. I was not happy with the new shark either, not because it left residue, I did not like the way you had to constantly push the handle for steam and I also found it very hard to push. As far as residue, itÂs not from steam.. steam is just water. Your residue is from the cleaners you were previously using on your floors , the steam activated it and it will take a while to remove it completely. What you may really like is the Hoover floor mate. It beats the mop and bucket for sure and your floors are scrubbed clean. I have one but I do not use the cleaners it comes with. I use my natural or organic cleaners instead. In between, I use a microfiber mop. Check it out, I think you will like it. ps..did you ever get the Charlies Soap? Superchick I am sooooo jealous!! I have wanted a ladybug for a long time, someday I will buy one for sure canÂt wait! Enjoy it!!! Ree...See MoreThere HAS to be a better way...
Comments (17)One of my friends once remarked to me how unhappy she was that the builder had left such a mess in one of the bathtubs and she'd tried everything to get it clean. She asked my advice when I was visiting and I discovered she was trying to scrub off the non slip texturing that was part of the tub. That's the first thing I thought of when I read your post...there's none of that down there, right? :-) I always use bon ami and a dobie pad when it's really bad. Gel gloss cleaner is also good and I just spread it on, leave it overnight if necessary, wet again and scrub with dobie pad (the yellow nylon woven scrubber, not the green fuzzy kind). It seems to leave a nice finish that doesn't get dirty as quickly....See More- 20 years ago
