Well, I just brought my right front tire in to get the flat fixed for the 4th time in about 4 months. It is a Farmall M with the tricycle front, and it really isn't that big of a deal to take off, and I take it to a place that fixes them for free if you buy your tires there, so it isn't costing me anything but my time, but it is getting old. I had a bit of mesquite on my land and didn't get any flats when I mowed it all down, but lately have been getting a flat about every other time I use the tractor. Some folks swear by the fix-a-flat stuff and say pour a couple bottles in and you will never have to worry about it again. I've heard others say that you will be sorry down the road if you use the fix-a-flat because it gums up the rims and if you do need to change the tube or tire you are going to end up having to change the rim while your are at it. Tires are in good shape, but my tube is about to the point it is getting patches on top of patches. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Nathan
