Two sets of tires?

[MikeA57]

My Ford 1510 has turf tires on it but I'm thinking (again) about getting a set of ag tires & wheels for it. I've got a couple of pieces of hunting land that we need to do some clearing and setting up food plots on and I'm just afraid that the turf tires won't cut it once we get to the plowing and discing. Also, I'm afraid that getting into one of them may be rather tough without ag tires.

What are the pros and cons of getting a 2nd set of tires to swap out when I go to the other property? The primary use of the tractor is as a mower for my back lot which is just a field. Is there more to it than just throwing a different set of tires on the back of a tractor? The front tires are the wider turf style tires too. Would I have to get a different set up front if I put the ag tires on the back? How hard is it to find used 9.5-24 wheels with/without tires?

I do this with my tractor. If it is 2 wheel drive the fronts and rears don't have to match, but if it is 4 wheel drive the ratios need to be correct. The biggest hassle is dealing with the weights I have. While not technically hard to mount them just huffing the weight around isn't that fun. It sounds to me that you have more work requiring Ag tires than the turfs so I bet you find you leave them on longer each time between mowing season.

I don't know how this tractor compares to yours but the tires on it look great. **************Ford tractor parting out,new arrival I have never dealt with this guy

I see that those wheels have the weights already on them. What is the purpose of having wheel weights on the rear? I know my tractor needs some suitcase weights on the front due to the front end drifting as I make a turn with the 5' bushhog on it. Just not sure about rear weights.

Very cool though skylark. Thanks!
