Demonstrate Benefits of RimGuard Ballast

This Simple Tractor Upgrade Changes Everything
What happens here
To showcase the benefits of RimGuard, a demonstration is performed. First, the tractor with *unloaded* tires (only air) picks up a large hay bale. This causes the front of the tractor to lift significantly off the ground, reducing stability and traction. Next, the same tractor, now with *RimGuard-loaded* tires, picks up the hay bale. The front of the tractor remains firmly planted on the ground, demonstrating a dramatic increase in stability and traction due to the added weight and lower center of gravity. A split-screen comparison clearly illustrates the difference in tire bulge (contact patch) and front-end lift between unloaded and loaded tires, proving the effectiveness of RimGuard for safer and more efficient heavy lifting.
Goal: Visually demonstrate the increased stability and traction provided by RimGuard-loaded tires.
