#Trac grabber on a tractor upgrade
I'd check with tire shops and/or car dealerships to see if you can find some that were taken off (I think they actually call them "take-offs") for an upgrade or maybe some used tires in OK shape. Wider tires are good in mud.īy Henry Petrino in Modesto, CA on Thursday, Ap05:03 pm:

If you don't have the equipment to dismount your old tires and mount the new ones, check your local tire dealer for a pair of lightly used tires that someone swapped out for larger or even more aggressive tires and have them mount them. Add a set of chains and a Scott Wyeth "Power Puller" hand winch(same design since the 1930's, made in the USA) to your tool kit and you'll always be home by supper!īy Mark Strange - Hillsboro, MO on Thursday, Ap04:46 pm:ĭo you only drive your truck on dirt roads around the farm? If so, then you might be able to score a lightly used pair locally and mount them yourself with no or only bubble balancing. NDTs were supposedly primarily designed to confuse enemy forces on account of their non-directional design, but the first time you find where a vehicle shod in these tires has turned, it isn't too hard to figure out.Ī good set of aggressive mud & snow tires would do much better. Military NDT (Non Directional Tires) load up just as quickly as a standard tread street tire and they are not the greatest on wet pavement because they ride on the centre section on hard surfaces where there is no tread! I had a set on a Land Rover, but replaced them with a set of tall, skinny snow tires that dig out much better. Still though, looks like they will be better than what you have, and I know they will be a lot cheaper than the other two options I listed above.īy Dean Kiefer - Adams, MN on Thursday, Ap04:39 pm: In my experience military profile tires don't have great lug spacing, and don't have enough flotation compared to commercially available options. On my farm truck which is basically mud/dirt/sand only (I have places where the ground is very muddy) I use Interco Super Swamper Boggers I used BFG Mud Terrain T/A KM2s on my jeep which sees mud and street. Anybody have experience with both kinds to share?īy Stephen Bowers on Thursday, Ap04:30 pm: But I wonder if a military tread would get a better grip than other tires that allegedly are good in mud. There's a wide selection of tires available with claims of being great for traction in mud.
Then I have to jack up the wheels and put boards under them, sometimes more than once before I'm out. Hit ground that's a little muddy, and the slick tires just spin and sink in.
