Hi, just for those like me that were looking for info about tire size : 235/85R16 is a really good fit and there is no rubbing at all. These are Sailun Terramax MT, cheap and efficient.
My pleasure!Awesome. That's the size I want once I get a second set of rims. Thanks for posting.
How dose it ride with the add-a-leaf in the front?That’s the same size I’m running and I love them too. They fit the 7” wheels real well. Got a 2” add leaf in front, swapped from and rear shackles and installed 1 1/2” wheel spacers. View attachment 4410View attachment 4408View attachment 4409
Ride is the same as stock as far as I can tell maybe a tad stiffer but not by much. Net height change is somewhere around 2”How dose it ride with the add-a-leaf in the front?
Thanks, are you still using the stock shocks?Ride is the same as stock as far as I can tell maybe a tad stiffer but not by much. Net height change is somewhere around 2”
Yes, as long as you keep the stock shock length there’s no need to change to longer brake lines. I also swapped the front shackles with the rear ones. The difference is only a half inch in length of the two but by swapping them you get 1” of overall leveling effect.Thanks, are you still using the stock shocks?
The 85s are amazing., There is lots of logging going on behind my place, this is where we ride so mud is a real issue. I can attest the tire difference is a big deal between the stock MTs and the 3” larger 85s. I bought mine on line , Desert Duelers made in Indinonesia. Last week I followed A Ponssie Harvester 8 wheel drive with tracks thru the mud ....a pc of cake ,!
I have 5 small (one died) 3 of the original M18 batteries and 2 of the 2.0 ones. I will definitely need to carry a couple with me at all times. The little ones only last a few minutes, but it is mainly going to be used for little stuff like a branch here or there or a fallen tree. I always carried a handsaw and pruners for that, this is going to be much nicer.This is my recharge center. My system is GreenWorks 40 volt. They have professional systems also. 60 volt and now 80 volt.

I still have my big Stihl for my major fall cutting, but I can see that is the only time it is used. I grabbed this for the little stuff and it is way more capable than I thought, even with my small batteries. My sister in-law is at the old farm (now an acreage) and has lots of small batteries, but was always trimming by hand, so I ordered one for her to, she really likes it. Even though she also has small batteries, she uses a few and still better than a buck saw. lol. Looking forward to using it in the valley, I usually get out on Sunday to play around with this stuff.The GreenWorks system will outlast gas powered saws in all but the hardest wood. I can fell a medumim size tree just as quick as old gas saw. Working time is steady about 45 min. The big thing is the chain. , I always have an extra in the tool box. Oil is same , needs top off every hour of steady use. Batteries do go bad. , I have replaced about 3 in the last three years. GreenWorks paid for two , I paid about 100.00 for the one. Looks like I may need to go again , but sometimes resetting the charger will fix the non charging problem. I see the future of chain saws going electric DC. Already the big 80 volt units will put gas saws to shame, even in commercial conditions. And just think , starts always quickly , no repair shop visits anymore , stale gas , adjustments , ...all things of the past !
