Sure thing. Always happy to help - and show off my little beauty.

yeah i want to get either a gc2300 or gc2600 to use for fixing up the landscape around. maybe a pluger 3pt from everythingattachments.What size tires are on the front/rear.I noticed it can be had with ag tires but the stock ones look like they wear out fast

Here's some more shots of a Northeastern 2310.... notice how much better it looks with turf tires!:laughing:

Seriously, I've had great luck with the turfs, but if you spend much time in the woods the AG tires would probably be a better choice.

For pictures and specs, try the MF website, www.masseyferguson.com. The R4 Industrial tires are the recommended all-around tire. Not sure about longevity, but mine seem to be holding up well at a construction site with a lot of sharp rocks.

There are probably as many threads about tires as there are about oil.

I had turf tires on my JD many years ago and they served me well. I now have R4s on my 2310 and for the most part like them, too. Last tractor I had with Ag tires was a ~ 1953 International Super C (?) - and that thing was a brute.

Whatever tires you get, be sure to change the air a couple times a year because that's the secret to getting top performance.

This is one of the very Best Idea's I have ever heard of hhehehehheheehhehe!

Change air every season, right?

 

[irvingj]

Yeah, ya know, thin air for the winter, thicker air for the hot season....

The nice thing about the TLB is that I can use the hydraulics to lift the tires off the ground so that I get a *complete* air change. Just remove the valve stems and leave them alone for about 15 mins, which is enough time to let the tires balance with the ambient air. Then replace the valve stems and fill 'em up.

My tires are not filled, but I think this method would be OK with filled tires, too, as long as the valve stem was at 12:00.

I primarily use my GC2400 for mowing and origially ordered turf tires. Since I also ordered a FEL my dealer sent me a unit with R4s. I was skeptical but have not had issues with tearing the turf. They also ride smooth on hard surfaces. The last reason I think I'll keep them is that I'm told the turf will squash more than R4s when lifting heavy loads with FEL. Haven't tested that yet.

"I'm told the turf will squash more than R4s when lifting heavy loads with FEL."

Yes, they will. Turf tires, by design, I guess, have "soft" sidewalls, and they WILL squish down with loads. So far, however, mine have held up...:thumbsup:

I still haven't gone too far into the woods yet, but am beginning to get there. That's where my turfs may fail me.... we'll see.

Miy turfs don't squash at all.

Always use warm air in winter and cold air in summer.

Well, my little beastie just pulled out her first stump! Kinda dirty --wet soil-- but it'll clean up OK. Took a while, took some patience... and this stump was pretty small!

Pics don't show it, but there was a pretty steep slope to go down to get at the stump; not much room to maneuver between the still-standing trees-- but it did it!:thumbsup: (And no flats yet!)

I have R4 Industrial Tires front and rear. They are Titan - Trac Loader Tires. Fronts are 18x8.50 - 10 NHS 4 ply, and the rears are 26x12.00 - 12 NHS 4 ply. NHS is not for highway service. Good luck with your search for a tractor :thumbsup:. KC

the ag tires on mine do squash down a bit, but they will handle everything that the fel will pick up.

Here's a couple of pics of mine that I took not long after delivery, along with my other "toy".
