[Shop-talk] Studded tire update

[eric at megageek.com]

Eric asks about adding weight.

This mower is a weird design.  It's two hydrostatic drive wheels with one 
rear caster wheel (tripod).  The mower deck and the plow hang off the 
front.

The weights seem to have no effect on traction for the plow or the cutter. 
 There are springs that hold up the mower deck's rear, and they do make a 
difference.


Here is a video of it with the snow thrower on it...

All the weight is on the drive wheels already.  I do have plate weights 
for the back, but they are just for when I put on the snow thrower. 
Without the weights, instead of lifting the thrower, the rear end lifts 
off the ground.
