Had my first chance to try out the R4s on my new Massey. Had a weed get into my lawn and it was spreading like wildfire. Killed it off with a herbacide called Tenacity and then planned on exposing the soil with a 6ft disk harrow. The ground was damp but I am anxious to get seed down before the weather changes. After my second 200 foot pass the 14.9x24's were slipping and clogged with dirt. I was able to get turned around for the next pass. I engaged the 4wd and the 15.1x18s were slipping also, and clogged with dirt. I made it back to the barn with the tread packed with dirt/mud.
I hope this is not an indication of how they perform in snow, which is why I bought the machine in the first place. I have no doubt that old fashioned ags would have cleaned themselves.
Why is it that R4s are supposed to perform better?
The fronts are OK, but the rears need to have more lugs that are deeper, in other words ag tires.
