Better Traction

After reading many many posts on MTF here's what I did to my 2012 GT 6000. Simply filled the back tires with windshield washer fluid. 6 gallons per tire.

Along with the 55# weights it will climb straight up a 30 degree hill without spinning a tire in dry grass. It will easily back up a 20 degree slope on dry grass which is an incredible improvement!!! NO CHAINS NEEDED :fing32:

This is a must improvement for anyone wishing to improve traction. It will even pull much better. Apply slight pedal pressure and it will pull right out without spinning. Originally, I was stuck nearly everywhere.

Thank You for the welcome...
The tri ribs are really nice. are they the same height? This machine does need more help in the steering department.

I'm also saving up for an electric sleeve hitch, hopefully from Johnny Bucket

Ag Tires are on the list as well. Just purchased a used boxed plow. and as soon as I have a sleeve hitch, I'll draw up and make a ripper tooth and rigging for the hitch as well.

By the way, I'm in the Johnstown area of Pa.
