... and I'm hoping you guys will help fill me in.
So last year I picked up a tractor that's going to be a little more suited to cultivating than the 106. If I ever get the 149 through the shop, it will take over for the 106 on snow plow duty. That leaves my 106 with one job, pulling a Brinly plow. That job takes about 10 short passes once a year. After that, she'll sit around, and maybe pull a wagon here and there.
Can I take it to the county fair and have some fun exactly as is, or do I have to modify it? What's the bare minimum (safety stuff, hitch, front weights,)? Do i need special tires? Can i run my 6-12 ags or maybe cut an old set of turf tires? As for weight, how much will I need and where do I put it?
Is there anything I might want to do that would make it better for pulling both a brinly plow and a sled?
I still want it to be a reliable tractor that will pull a plow and a garden wagon first and foremost. If the kids get into pulling, maybe we'll build something more competitive, however the goal here is to learn, have a good time, and get her out of the barn.
Thanks in advance!!
