Traction

[nodlenor]

My Husqvarna 2554 has very poor traction. I bought a pair of wheel weights at a flea mkt. but they don,t fit. I guess I could make them work somehow but I thought I would get some ideas from you guys as to what the best way to solve my traction problem. Any inexpensive ideas for a solution will be apreciated. Ron.

You could fill your tires with what I think is called Rim Guard to get added weight for better traction.:thumbsup:

At the golf course we fill all tires with water

I guess it depends on where you live, if it doesn't freeze then water will work, or windshield washer fluid.:wink:

It all depends where you want this traction, lawn/grass/hills, dirt/mud, snow/ice, all around on everything??

I remember a real brutal winter about 1997 or 1998 when it pretty much froze all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. The boat engine manufacturer I worked for back then got a lot of bogus casting defect warrenty claims when the engines or manifolds froze because they never bothered/had to drain them for a normal winter.

I live in northern Missouri so I don't think water would be the right choice. Some type of non freezing fluid would be ok. I guess I'll have to do some experimenting. Thanks for the suggestions.

How about a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water I think that would do it ?????

Anti freeze might work. I think what I really need is a pair of tractor bar tread tires. I don't suppose anyone has a pair of 23x10.50x12 tractor tread tires they don't need.
