Wheel nut falling off T4

Running a gtb/novak 6.5 which is ballooning the tires and ripping them off too! FT nut just bought and replaced is very tight but coming off. Do I need thread locker or does the wheel falling off mean something with the drive train or tranny is not smooth?

The wheel nut shouldn't fall off, usually when it comes loose on a roll pin drive it wrecks the wheel. Did you get the thin FT locknuts? Also is the nylock part of the nut fully engaging with the axle threads.

I have the hex conversion on this wheel. Also, note I'm ripping in the grass too when this happens.

My guess is it's ratcheting off during use.
Try the J concepts nuts, if they come off nothing else will stay on.

Did you use your "strong hand" to put it on?
