Tires YM1510D Custom Turf Tires

[htiek126]

I thought some folks might be interested in my inexpensive turf tires. I installed 4.80-12 trailer tires ($18 each) on the front wheels, and 285/75R16 truck tires ($25 used pair) on modified rear wheels (drilled new bolt pattern). All the diameters are the same as the original tires, and I still have the rear rice tires for snowy days. Pictures attached.

Fantastic! My kind of a solution (cheap).

Why did you need to drill the rear wheels? They look the same as ours. Did I mis-understand?

Nice job! How are the tire and wheel sizes in relation to the 4WD? Or do you not use it with that turf setup?

The John Deere bolt circle on the wheels was too large, so I had to drill a smaller diameter circle for the lug bolts.

The tire diameters are same as the original rice paddy tires. I drove in 4WD on pavement, and there does not seem to be any wind up in the drivetrain. I also laid down some rubber accidently. I shifted the powershift a little too quick, and the rear wheels actually chirped before they grabbed on the cement. I might need to bolt the seat down a little tighter with all that traction. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Nice looking set up. Thanks for the tire size info. I have the same model tractor and am in need of new tires. I have found new agricultural tread fronts mounted for $70 each, but this seems a bit high for such a small tire. I have found the rears for $120 each mounted and that seems more reasonable.

very nice set up you have there, do you mow your lawn with it ? I know that Leonard Sheaffer use to sell mid mount mowers that ran off the rear pto. I have a set of diamond tread turf tires mounted on rims for a YM1401 but I dont own a 1401. so they just collect dust. I drove a mahindra 2015 with turf tires the other day and man was that a smooth ride
on blacktop or gravel. again nice rig you have there.

Then what you've got is a set John Deere rims (on the rear) with 285/75R16 tires on them(?).

Still a great solution!
