I find 25PSI of helium in all 4 tires works real good for pond crossings.

I beleive they came from the factory with helium in the tires too for the pond weed cutter attachment Wheel Horse sold.

Very rare & highly sought after by gullible collectors.

I see the problem now, you don't have any wheel weights with them chains. They won't make you float like the helium filled tires, but the added weight will dig down for better traction.

Ummm....I don't know whether digging down a little more would be a good idea. :whistle: You might want to see if Eldon would donate a spare boat seat (or two) to your fleet. Now if you want to have some fun, put your snow thrower on, find a bottle of environmentally friendly bubble bath, dump it in the pond and have at it. Oh yeah if you do :WRS:

I have a better idea!

Why not fix a couple of small pontoons to each side of those tractors, add some deep lug ag tires...maybe even work out a tiller! And then see if you can really get those horses to float!

You can then call them "water horses" or the correct term "sea horses"!!

:whistle:

Yeah, could call 'em "sea horses" but then the folks over at OMC (makers of the Johnson/Evinrude line of boat engines) would pitch a gripe for trademark infringement. Nothin's easy in this world, dontchaknow!

Well said Jason :whistle::D

It looks like you and Tony were having fun Mike :WRS:

now if you were to fill the tires up with expanding foam you might saty afloat a while longer :dunno: :D
