Tires Worlds largest turf tires?

Certainly should be stable on cross slopes.
Might be prone to sliding though /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

If nothing else you can always use the tractor to roll the lawn. That is if the loading is still high enough!

With those babies you could drive on the greens without any damage /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Mowing turf where tire marks are not acceptable(golf courses ect). The wider the footprint, there's less contact area per square inch. If your 12.6x16 tire puts 50lbs/sq", an imaginary 25.2x16 tire would theoretically cut that contact pressure in half, to say 25lb/sq". Less contact pressuree, less marking.

Gerard,
For some reason over there in the UK, they insist on doing things like golf courses etc. on peat fields. Peat is extremely soft.

I've seen super wide turf tires on sod farms in Northern Indiana.

bearing on ground, for a pneumatic tire, is the psi you put in the tire ...then, the weight of the vehicle equals the combined area of all the (four) contact patches times the psi ...

Here's my HOT Rod !! So far I love my turfs although I originally wanted R4's. They do give the tractor a more rugged, heavy duty....ok.... cool look !!
