the michelin xl's i have are in fine shape (like new) except for the 1 i blew out the sidewall on last week. So my dilema is whether to buy a replacement michelin and a spare and spend the same amount on shipping them or go ahead and buy 5 of the Pirelli's and pay the same on shipping. If i'm...
oh gotcha. Well i bought it to push snow and do this project. I dont want to replace a clutch either but i intend to use the machine :). I hope it can stand up to my abuse. I'm borrowing a skidloader to help get the loose dirt out for the remainder of the project. its just too slow to...

my plans are to...
