Best tug for a 3000lb SEP?

Provides more weight, sticking the rubber directly to the road, thus
providing more traction. Most large tractor drive tires have fluid
(calcium
chloride solution) in them. Weight in the tires does not stress the
frame,
axels or transmissions as much as the same weight bolted to the wheels or
frame weights bolted onto the tractor frame. It also helps prevent "wheel
hopping" in loose sandy soil.

Kinda what I figgered!

Thanks!

I'll second that, a couple of locals use them and they work great, are
readily available and cheap.



Cheap?
Not exactly!

Think "used", "preowned", etc.

Ours (John Deere lawn/garden tractor) is about 20 years old. Lube and oil
change in the spring and it's good to go.
