And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Those are aircraft tires, looks cool on it. Lowering the center of gravity and roll center with smaller diameter tires, bet it corners great, increases the rate of acceleration too. Lose some too speed though. But its a low rpm tractor, so that works out okeedokee. Lot smoother ride not having those big herring bone tire tread cleats humming down the road.
I put aircraft tires on the front of a Ford industrial front end loader once. You could pick them up used, in the Houston barrio. They work great in sand, if you have a jeep, and on the tractor they were good for flotation, too. But - they weigh a ton. They're about 40-ply, very thick rubber. You'll never wear them out, but you'll make no friends at the tire shop, trying to roll that bead over the rim..
Needs a mount for a 50 cal

ReplyDeleteThat doesn't look like it has a tractor rear axle on it, maybe they put a car rear end to get a better gear ratio for road use.
