Thanks Wagtail! I might put in for a sales call to Australia, I'm sure it beats 35 degrees and raining!

Blaine, welcome to TBN. I will take you up on your offer. I am considering going with a set of BKT: TR-461 tires for the rear and a set of BKT: Sure Trax HD on the front but am concerned that the rubber will be too hard to perform well on snow and ice or grass. I can't run chains as I don't have clearance on the rears, and the R4 lug tire I have just slide around with no lateral traction. The turfs I have work OK in the snow and on grass but have limited load capacity hence my wanting to upgrade. The other tire I have been considering is the Galaxy Mighty Mow. The tractor is used primarily for mowing and snow removal, but I also use it to maintain the gravel drive and to move materials around the property. The loader can easily overload the current titan turf front tires. The BKT looks like it would work better in the gravel and dirt than the Mighty Mow, but I don't know how well the BKT will perform on the grass and snow. What's you thoughts?
