Tires Should I buy a Second Set of Tires?

[Gary Fowler]

I'm using a Yanmar tractor. I've come to like the machine and I'm thinking of buying it.

The tractor comes with R4 tires but the seller is offering, at extra cost, a set of Turf tires. Should I buy the extra set? Price $650. Almost no use.

My tractor use is field mowing and occasional deep snow removal -- not much more. Do many folks own more than one set of tires for their tractor? Strikes me as unusual yet I don't want to pass and then regret later.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

You have the best compromise tires that you can put on a tractor. Turfs are fine for not bruising the landscape and grass, R1 tires are great for traction, and R4 tires are a good medium of the road tire for traction and not digging up the lawn due to the larger and shallower tread pattern. If you had R1 tires, you mightwant to get some turfs but with R4 tires already on the tractor it is a waste of money. I doubt you would be changing the tires out if you had them anyway so why waste your money.

I did buy a set of turf for my bx 23 with ag for 250/shipping. My thought was didn't want to leave flat tire over nite away from house, plus both styles. think about it

Save your cash. DON'T get the turfs.

Save your money. I have turfs on mine and have considered getting another set of wheels/R1's for tilling, plowing and general dirt work. I decided against it because I don't think that I would gain that much in my situation. Buy a useful implement instead. You are probably better off with just the R4's in your situation.

^ best advice - apply the $$ toward an implement or chains if you think you need them
