I really need to take more pics. I lost my old ones changing phones. I think my 100 and 782 are my prettiest cubs!

How many would rather be doing spring "field work" than moving snow?

Charlie P. All our snow is wet and slushy.

does not sound like ill get much either

I'm up for warmer weather at least. Hopefully my cozy cab 1x5 tractor will look half as nice as Marty and Kraig's O's!

I'll be better from that hernia and ready to start on it finally. So many ideas floating around upstairs right now I just need a net with less holes to catch one!

Kraig, what brand front rib tires are on that "O" with the plow sitting next to a plowed garden? I like the looks of them. Thanks

David

 

[kmcconaughey]

David, good question. I don't see a brand on them in any of my photos. I do see "Made in Japan" on them. I'd go look at them in person but it's at my parent's farm. I'll try to remember to check the next time I'm there.

David Q,

Probably Deestones.

 

[sblunier]

Actually, they are probably not Deestone tires, but the Chen Sing tri ribs that proceeded the Deestones.

I prefer the Deestone tires because the ribs look more like big tractor tires

 

[dquillen]

Thanks all. I'll probably get the Deestone's..........been looking at them long enough and the price is right.

David Q. One thing you may want to ask is what size do most prefer when ordering the Deestones. I have yet to install mine and they are 3.50 x 8. The next bigger are the 4.00 x 8 Deestones. I've heard some prefer the 4.00 x 8 size.

To All others. Charlie P. would like you to send him any excess snow that you may have laying around.

While on the discussion of tri-rib tires and for comparison...

My 100 currently with GBC 4.00-8's

Same 100 with Deestone 4.00-8's

My 70 with GBC 3.50-8's

 

[kmcconaughey]

My Original has 4.00-8 and I have now confirmed that they are GBC 4.00-8s, thanks to Kirk's photo and mention of the GBC brand. One of my photos shows a "B C" on the sidewall.

I run the Greenball's (GBC) as well. I think mine are going on about 14 years old! The rib spacing is a bit narrower than the Deeztone, but considering how long I've been running them they wear great.

 

[dquillen]

Looks like it's Deestone's for me. My search for Greenball 4.00-8 tri rib turned up nothing. Thanks for all the help.........amazing!
