Tyre Change

[Malvern Michael]

Hi
I have a Branson 47 with I think you call commercial tyres less chunky than ag tyres but I want to change them to Turf tyres but can I just swap for the same size on them as someone suggested I have to have a different size?
Thanks

Size/diameter will affect ground speed (if that's important for crop processing). Plus you will need different wheels. Turfs need much wider rims as it's related to the purpose of turfs being to reduce peak ground contact pressure. I waited for a FB Marketplace ad to show up with new take-offs being offered for sale. I went with R4's and found them friendly with the lawn, even loaded.

I believe that the industrial R4 style and turf use the same rims. R1 ag style sometimes take different rims since they are narrower

I found this in the search:

Turfs to Industrial R4's - what size?

Turfs to Industrial R4\'s - what size? I recently posted on the merits of mixing R1's and R3's. Most said don't do it. One suggestion was to swap out entirely to R4's which will have equivalent sizes. Given this, can someone with more knowledge than me give R4 sizes equivalent to 212 x 80D -15...
