Your
Horse Model
Troy-Bilt
Tiller
comes
equipped
with 4:80 x 8 tubeless
tire
mounted
on a
single
piece steel wheel,
shown
in
Photo
6/1.
The
wheel
(which
is
described
as
an
8-inch
wheel) has a
self-contained
hub
section and
includes
an
air
valve.
The
tires
come
in a Standard tread design
that
is
either
diamond
shaped
or
a
modified
diamond
shape.
Bar
tread
tractor
type
tires are
an
option
offered
at
additional
expense. Bar
tread tires
which
offer
greater
traction, are
shown in Photo 6/2.
Standard tires are
excellent
for
most
tilling
and
cultivating
jobs
with
average soil and
crop
conditions;
however,
you
may
want
to
put
chains on Standard tires
forsnowplowing
orfor
tilling
in
extra
tall and
juicy
cover crops,
or
til-
ling in tall grass
while
breaking in new
ground.
More
information
about
Bar
tread and
tire
chains is below.
Tires and wheels can
only
by
purchased
as
a
complete
tire
and wheel assembly (part #9142
for
Standard tires and #'s 9143 & 9144
for
Bar
tread tires)
from
Garden Way
Manufacturing
Company, Inc. We are
unable
to
supply
the
Wheels
or
the
tires
to
you
separately.
In
order
to
prevent
throwing
the
tiller
off
balance,
which
makes
it
difficult
to
guide
the
tiller
in a
straight
line, we
recommend
that
you
keep tire pressure equal. ? Q"lse

This
type
of
tire
is
particularly
helpful
for
til-
ling in loose soil,
snowplowing,
earth moving,
or
when using
the
furrower
attachment
while
tilling
soil
that
has
not
been previously tilled.
Sar
tread tires are especially useful
while
tilling
light
soils,
or
sandy soils. You can get more
traction
with
Bar
tread tires than
with
Standard
(Photo 6/1)

tread tires.
The
8-inch
Bar
tread tires and
wheels can be used
for
all
Troy-Silt
Horse
Model Tillers (see
Photo
6/2).
Your
tiller
uses
a 4:80/4:00
tire
on
an
8-inch
wheel assembly
(part #9143 and #9144, left and right). This is
a tubeless tire,
mounted
on a single-piece,
white
steel wheel
which
is very
similar
to
those
on automobiles.
They
can be purchased
only
as
a
complete
assembly.
