I am sure if I dig deep enough I may find my answer in this forum someplace but will take the easier route.
My dad has a Ford 861 tractor that has Ag tires on it. He uses it mostly for moving docks and boats on a sand beach. The tractor over the years has become a pain for him because of the steering and the lack of traction.
He has found a used Ford 1720 that has AG tires on it. It is 4 wheel drive though. His concern is he wanted turf tires because they will work better on the sand. His old tractor was always stuck, but it was two wheel drive.
My assumption is the 4 wheel alone should make a major difference. This tractor has a really good price on it and I hate to see him let it go because of the AG tires. At the price I would think he could afford a set of turf's if so.
Has anyone had any experience with sand and AG tires?
