Tires tires

[tonyrico]

I have decided on a 5105, 4wd, 522 loader and the JD Trash Grapple.
The last question is tires. Can you experiences jockeys make a case for Ag vs. Industrial?

You may want ask in the Operating forum since this is not that specific to JD. And there have been plenty of tire discussions in the past....

The way I look at it is that Ags give you the most traction and will shed mud pretty easily. Industiral give less traction but don't tear up the ground as much. Mud does not clean up as easily.

Really depends on what you are going to be doing and were the tractor will be operated.

Later,

Without knowing what you are going to be doing with your tractor, and under what conditions, it's hard to answer. But considering that you are talking about a 5105, I assume that you have some heavy duty work in mind, and you're not using it to mow your nice lawn.

I have ag tires on my 4320 and if I didn't, I might as well forget about using it in the winter (I live in Oregon, where it does rain occasionally). Yes, I do tear up the ground when it is wet, but I would rather do that than get stuck.

I say go with Ag tires for that beast.
