Turf Tires for a JM200LE

[hbaird]

Next spring I will have enough yard grass to start cutting with my Jinma 200LE. I can get a good Finish Mower locally. All I think I need for my tractor is to go over to Turf TIres. First do I need to replace front and rear rims? While I may need Ags on the rear from time to time I don't need them on the front ever. Will Turfs work on the stock front rims?

All four rims are typically replaced when changing over to turf tires. R3 tires are proporationately wider than R1s - on purpose - so rims for R3s and proportionately wider than rims for R1s. But don't lose sight of the rolling ratio. It's not as critical on 2wd tractors, but should be kept in mind when selecting which front size goes with which rear size.

If you plan to use your 200 in the winter, you may find yourself switching back to R1s on the front - till things dry up in the spring. Turf tires don't steer well in snow and mud.
