r4 or ag tires

[Anonymous Poster]

looking at purchasing a l3010 or 3710 gst. have small farm with some thick tree/ stubble . mainly used for land maintence, snow plow, field mow, road maintence. i am concerned about the life of the ag tires and the ply rating. also if you could comment on the two tractors in comparison with the gst. and hst
have been using friends b 21hst. not happy with leaving the rpm's up and the heal to tow action. and switching out of high med. low tranny. I have diverse terrain.

thanks

If you use the "search" function at the top of the page, you will find lots of previous discussions on both topics; GST vs HST, as well as tire choices. You might start with <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=buykubota&Number=52551&page=&view=&sb=&o=&vc=1> this link</A> on the transmissions. As for the tires, R1 (ag) for traction and R4 (industrial) for toughness and durability. Which do you need most?

Try a search under Ag Elimination Rule -- it's an excellent thread on tire choice.
