Nice, good tip - I am planning on a 4x4 tractor given I have many hills and slopes on our property. I also plan to use it for heavy duty tasks like moving snow banks and dragging the driveway.
When you weighted your tires, did you find that you had any issue with sinking into snow or leaving deep ruts?
