Replacement wheels for my JD 2305

[ddivinia]

R1s will tear up a yard in a hurry.

I have R1s on my 5525 and R4s on my 4520 for that exact reason. R4s are crap in wt black land. They ball up pretty bad.

It is a 2305 - R1s seem like a waste anyway. I bet it does not weigh enough to really take advantage of R1s. Turfs really suck for traction.

All around for that size tractor R4s is pretty hard to beat.

Also, I bet you only swap those wheels a couple times and then you will blow it off.

I have R4s on my 2210 (almost identical to the 2305) and have had no trouble with them tearing up the lawn. They are a good tire for this size machine and I agree with those who said just change them out. I doubt you'd go back to the turfs once you had them mounted.

I'm with ddivinia and KML. I have a 2305 with R4s, I mow about an acre around my house with no damage to the lawn, even with the loader on (I usually just remove the bucket). No traction problems with front mounted snowthrower. They do load up in wet clay mud when doing FEL work, but I can work in areas that I wouldn't try with turfs.
I would try the R4s, you may find that you don't need the turfs.
