All these lawn mower threads makes me beef mine up.

For those wondering, Jay runs a Deere LA 135. 
Jay if you really want to beef that machine up, you need to find yourself a K66 trans and the appropriate wheels and rubber for it. Used to be relatively cheap to do, now it'll cost you almost what you paid for the tractor to begin with.
I'd stick with the chains for traction....

Sounds smart: I got a guy down the road with 2 brand new good years 23x10.5-12. Darn sure do not want trans issues later.
My thinking was taller tire higher top speed and better for plowing. MasterMech got me looking at MyTractorfourm. Check out there snow plowing small tractors.

i agree with mastermech... the 10% larger tire will cause 10% higher loading on your transaxle. i want to say the la165 starts a different variation of the k46, and rated for the larger tire, but i'm not 100% on that.My thinking was taller tire higher top speed and better for plowing.

LA 155 and up use the K46 while everything smaller has the T40 trans.

you're right... i tend to call the t40 a k46. according to them it's basically a budget version of it. la155, knew it was in that area somewhere, lol.
