Most N's spin tires when pulling. Is there a best tire pressure? I'm want tractor to stall on load,not spin out. Pull at antique shows for fun.
Just looking for an edge. Will adding weight to drawbar help? All ideas appreciated. Thanks

When I first got my 2N in 1986 I used it for logging. I put a Fransgard 3 point Skidder Winch attachment (for sale by the way) on the back that is over 500lbs. I still spun till I loaded the tires. Works great now.

Try getting your tires loaded, it will add about 550lbs weight per tire, this will help greatly with the spinning, adding weight to the drawbar will help, but not as much as getting the tires loaded, as the weight added to the drawbar is transferred through the tires, and the weight of water or mixture in the tires is transferred through only the tread.

If you are looking for new rear tires ask for radial tires. The different tread pattern will give you extra bite especially when filled with calcium.
