titan turfs.

Titan turf tires must be very soft rubber. My machine has only 125 hours and the tread is 30 % worn. Keep in mind 90 % of the hours were working on established turf! Seems to me my firestone turfs lasted longer?

With 85 hours on my B3030 with Titan Turfs I have noticed just a little wear on the fronts. The rears still look almost new. I would guess about 50 hours were mowing grass, the rest was plowing snow, putting in some new lawn and some light loader work. My rear tires are loaded with Rim Guard. Just my experience. I wonder what is causing your's to wear more?

Here is recent closeup picture of the tread on one of the rears.

I have titan turf tires, but only have 15 hrs. on machine. I notice even though air pressure is ok. The profile of front tires is recessed in center tread and outer ribs take more of load, the rear tires look even across the tread. I run titan 589 tires on my Polaris ATV 4x4, they are six ply aggressive tread and wear like iron. Possibly running in four wheel drive might affect tire wear.

Do you do any "roading" on your tractor?

I've about 175 hours on mine. The fronts seem to be wearing some, but the rears look like new.

Front tires on my B2910 wore out in just over 200 hours. Replace them with Carlisle Turf Master's. They now have over 200 hours and show little wear. My rear tires are Firestone's and show little wear at 400 plus hours.

I dont road my machine, i trailer it from job to job. Perhaps the citrus star fill in the rears has something to do with it. My firestones on my b 7500 had 700 hrs and 150 left in them when i sold it, the front carlisles on that machine were good for about 400. Threre's no way these titans are gonna give me 700 hours?

I have a NH TC33DA with 360 hours and have the Titan Multi-Trac C/S turf tires. I am happy with thier performance and the wear seems acceptable. The rears are filled with 25 gal CaCl each (about 270# each). They look like new. The fronts on the other hand seem to have about 50% or more of the tread remaining. I use the machine for mowing 2-3 acres, brush hoggin another 2+, snow plowing and driveway maint on 1000' gravel and 300' asphalt and concrete, and general earthwork.

At 280 +/- hours I purchased a second set of front rims and mounted industrials as the turfs did not seem to do well in heavy loader work. Too much flex and wear.

lawnking, If you have a FEL and or make sharp turns doing your yard work/lawn renovations that will increase your tire wear in front dramatically not to mention they roll two or three times compared to one revolution of the large rear tires...
