I bought a new 5065E with a 553 loader and got the R4 tires on it. I think I would like the R1's better after using it. I was pulling some logs over the weekend and it would just spin and dig a hole going up hills. As a disclaimer, I don't have weights yet. I'm going to add 4 107lb weights to each side (856 total) to see if this helps remedy the issue. I have a hay field to plow after I add weights and I'll find out then how the additional weight helps with traction. I should have listened to my gut and got the R1's to start with, but I though the R4's would be better/easier on the front end for loader work. Live and learn, I guess.
Guess I should start looking to see if anyone wants to trade rims and tires as I'm sure I can't afford to buy new rims and tires.
