I put them on last Friday, but had to travel for business this week and didn't really get to do much with them. (Was in Orlando, but unfortunately, I was "inside" all week instead of enjoying the fine sunny weather...and it looks like it's planning to rain here in SE-PA all weekend !)
However, they seemed just fine to me when I drove up the hill to "drop off" the hoe so I could put the 3pt back on after making the tire change. (Used the hoe and FEL to lift the machine instead of a jack--and yes, I did put support under it for safety) The tires are "bumpier" than the turfs, but not obnoxious. It's definately noticable on hard surfaces. The think about the bar-turfs on the BX is that they are very wide as compared to the ag tires on many machines. They will definately "float" when needed, but give good grip.
When I thought about how my wife and I use the tractor, 75% plus is NOT mowing, but using the FEL or other general land-maintenance activities. These tires just make sense.
