Sincerely, Dirt
All the pros and cons of R1s and R4s have been stated. I love my Ag tires, as they get me in and out of more holes. My backhoe sits higher with the R1s, so my backhoe has a better departure angle when playing in really big deep holes. The only thing I like about the R4s is the greater weight carrying ability.
My ground is so soft, either tire would tear it. I also will buy chervons treads for my zero turn lawn mower as the turf tires spin all too often in my soft earth. Just last weekend my 6520 had to pull the mower out of spin stuck spots 3 times.
hugs, Brandi
