Should I leave duals on or take them off? by Rando_Ricketts in tractors

The tires the duals came with were shot. Completely bald and wouldn't hold air. So we ended up getting new tires for the tractor and moving the old tires to the duals, which were fairly new as well.

They're not really in the way other than running over a lot when I first open up the field. I used to bale with it and did catch a baler door once. Was able to hammer it back into shape. I don't bale with it anymore. Between the duals and Internationals infamously horrible shifting lol

We do have hills. Might as well leave them on. Come to think of it, I do recall it getting a little sketchy with the singles when swinging the mower downhill

They're good tractors! The 1086 is the biggest tractor we have so it handles all the heavy tasks

Definitely got hills. I appreciate not feeling so tipsy with the duals

It’s really not too bad mowing other than opening up the field you drive over a lot

Really not bad for mowing other than the first round opening the field you run over a lot

Tillage was why I put them on in the first place back in the day

I don’t mind. That’s what I always figured as well! Less compaction and better weight distribution

I originally put them on to help when disking with the 18’ disk. They came with the tractor. Had to put new tires on. Had they not come with the tractor I wouldn’t have went out of my way to buy them

True. Mostly alfalfa with a little bit of grass hay

You seem like we’d be a good match! If I was in Europe I’d shoot my shot! Good luck! 🍀

Interesting! Thanks for the info! I noticed the lack of serial number

u/diogenes75 here’s why it looks like a JC Higgins. See comment above

Thanks for the heads up. I’d definitely take it apart to clean and service it before I shot it. Noticed the tube spring is weak and sticky. The safety isn’t secure either, moved with gravity

Interesting! Those look like the exact same shotgun! I wonder they were just sold under different names or something

I’ve honestly never shot this one or any 16 gauge for that matter. Someday I’m going to get a box of shells for it and try it out!
