Hi all - just purchased a used Kubota B2910 with FEL. Came with a brush hog and used it to cut the fields. The tractor came with turf tires and as I get ready for winter, I have a few questions.
Our property is pretty hilly. I plan to use the tractor to mow the fields 2x a year. I also plan to use the tractor for snow removal. Our driveway is 200-300' long and flat. It is not paved. I plan to get a scraper blade to remove snow. Scrape it out of the way and use the bucket if the piles get too big and I need to "relocate" them. There is a bit of a rise from where the tractor will be parked to the driveway.
I'd also plan to use the tractor to help with pulling cordwood from the land 蔓possibly pulling trees to a landing.
Turf tires worked fairly well for mowing the field. There were one or two spots that were pretty wet and I avoided them so that I wouldn't get stuck (again, first time using the tractor).
My question:
Do I need to get new tires? I have concerns about the turf tires for snow removal. I'm pretty certain they wouldn't cut it in the woods with snow on the ground. Can I get away with chains, or do I need to go with ag tires (or ag tires with chains)? I'll need new rims for ag tires, and it's getting pretty pricey (tractor, plus pole barn for the tractor, plus new tires and rims... )
I've been lurking here for a while and I appreciate the great information.
