You will have to clean out the shop before you can put the other one on.

That ain't gonna fit in the plow furrow......

I could come and move that Jeep to my place and I won't charge you anything.

Then you can put the tire on the right side unless you plan on plowing in reverse.

If that was for real, how many horsepower would it take to turn that tire, and then times two?

The tire is real - it weighs around 1100 pounds I am told. It was rolled in beside the H to get it out of the weather. It goes on a huge combine, possibly today. They didn't want to shut the combine down to change it while the weather was good.

Horsepower doesn't matter.
You could move an 80,000 pound semi up the Grape Vine with a 3 HP Briggs engine and not hurt it if you wanted to.. All you need to do is select the right gearing and prepare for a slow journey.

I told you wrong - it weighs around 1600 pounds. It's a Goodyear LSW1400/30R46.

Looks like what one of my old customers put on his old S/M . He put 30.5x32's on his with floaters on the tric. i asked him if he was going to float it down the Ohio river . Must have been something in the water down that way as over the hill from him to the south there were two brothers that did ODD thing to tractors . Ya never knew what they were going to roll out the door of there shop . They could never get enough Hp out of a tractor .

Yep; one can use a gas washing machine motor to pull a freight train with the right gearing.

And an unlimited schedule.......but that's if the power transfer components don't have any internal resistance that could eat up the minuscule hp of the washing machine.....which I doubt would be the case.

Just think of the mud or manure that could fly off of that tire when you get her up to speed in road gear !!
With those pitiful little fenders that came on those tractors, the flying debris could knock the operator right off of the seat .

Assuming there is no loss to friction in the gearing.

As a kid, I could speed shift a Case 350 (12 speed forward) pulling silage, grain, and hay wagons which weighed way more than the tractor. When I pushed the clutch in, the wagon would just push the tractor. I would think the same would happen with the tires, just better be able to shift on the go.
