I have read several threads on here about tire choices, but i wanted to mention my exact situation. brand new m7040 with the ag tires on it, rears loaded. currently use it for commercial snow removal. it has a ten foot snow pusher on the FEL. it will absolutely push down a house. what it won't do is steer at all with the pusher on the ground. i have tried having the FEL in the floating position, scraps real clean, but doesn't steer. lift the pusher up slightly, and it doesn't clean as good as i want.
first question is will industrial or turf tires improve the steering. more tire surface touching the ground.
second question is do you think the ten footer is too big of a snow pusher for the m7040.
finally, if i should switch tires (which have less than 10 hours on them), should my dealer take my ag tires in on trade for the ones i want.
don't get me wrong, i absolutely love this tractor. it is going to be perfect when i get this steering problem fixed.
