Tires What kind of tires?

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Wet clay will fill up R4s in a hurry. But they are a good compramise tire if the tractor is also going to be used on the lawn as well as off the lawn.

My experience with ag tires is limited to antique tractors, but R1s will self clean in mud, snow and clay, but they tear up a lawn in a hurry.

Bob -- I run loaded R1s on my L3010. Unless the ground is very wet or I'm making wicked sharp turns in 4WD while using my finish mower, the ags hardly leave a mark on the lawn. Of course, with the wider footprint R4s could do the job earlier, i.e., with R4s I wouldn't have to wait that extra week in spring for the ground to dry out, but personal experience tells me the blanket statement that aggies tear up lawn is not entirely true.

Steve ... not sure you could swing that. Getting an R4 size that perfectly matches an R1 size may not be possible. That being said, running mismatch sizes becomes controversial - messing with the geometry, especially on a MFWD or 4WD machine.

I'd check into that carefully I would.

Pete, I agree about the blanket statement. But I'd sure like to see your loam. Those Ags sure tear havoc on mine. Even when dry, you're sure they were there.

The ag tires on my B X 23 are working out fine for me for mowing backhoe & loader work.
