I just took delivery of a new 2005 model. I used the search feature but couldn't assemble an answer to these issues. </P>
1. The spray in liner seems to be in favor with owners in this group. Does it do anything to protect the bed floor and walls from dents? If not, what do you guys reccommend? My 6X4 Gator had a liner which worked pretty good except the issue of water and dirt under the liner. Is anybody using rubber truck bed liners? My dogs ride in the back and it's like a hockey rink for their footing. </P>
2.I got the ATV type tires. However, I've got over 100 ponds laid out like a checker board. The tires are really tearing up the top of the levees and dams even at slow speed.My D-6 does less damage... The big Gator tires had a super light footprint - and in 11 years I got stuck only once - in snow crosswise on a pond bank ( I put all the dogs and the girlfriend on the tailgate and eventually got out - but don't tell her I told you she's great ballast...). Any suggestions for a light ground pressure setup that still has good traction? I don't run in super deep mud or on asphalt. Also, I don't want to put in a lift kit for tire clearance. </P>
3.The dump bed catapults material! Any suggestions on turning down the control rate? Our big Kubota, like a lot of tractors, has a control valve for hydraulic rates. </P>
Thanks,</P>
