I can't believe the number of folks who don't even seem to read the OP but jump in with a comment from out in left field.
In this thread, the OP said he found about a CUP of water in a FRONT tire on a riding lawn mower.
Does anyone really think 8 oz. (both in volume and weight) would add any traction, let alone it was in an un driven wheel?
Sorry for the rant, but I've seen time & again folks looking for help or advice and the thread just goes so far off on a tangent the OP just gives up and is never seen again.
When I would put water in my tires I would get as much in a possible. And yes, this was in a un driven wheel.
Why? Counter balance. Some implements on tractors are VERY heavy or carry a bunch of weight. In my case it was a forklift or 3 pt hitch crane.
Yes, that few gallons of water all the way up front made a BIG difference on how the tractor steered and handled.
Ummmmmmm, like I said........
You read the part about it being maybe a cup, 8 ounces, half a pound, in ONE front wheel, of a LAWN MOWER right???
I'm pretty sure that lawn mower weighs less, including the OP operator, than that stack of suitcase weights does.
