Why no ag tires on the 2000 series?

I'd LOVE R1's for Winter here in Northern Wisconsin.

R4's in snow are like a fish out of water.

Also...On the X700 series you can get AG's on the rear...

I had those on the back of my 2210, and Oh My did they have traction. It was like a Bulldozer with those on. :thumbsup:

My opinion...Unless your working in dirt all the time I see no reason to have Ag tires (R1). Besides the R4 look so much better.

Like you said... that is a matter of opinion. I'm sure there are many out there that would disagree with you.

My tractor doesn't go in PARADE'S, so I could care less what the tires "Look" like. I want traction, and if that means PINK Tires, then Pink it is! :thumbsup:

I'll disagree on both counts.

I have V bar chains this year,none last year. My R4's are so much better in the snow now. If I had R1's with those chains it would be simply awesome. I had a small 2WD garden tractor (Speedex) with R1's and chains and it was a tank in the snow.

As for looks,when you see R1's they just "look" like they mean business.:thumbsup:

I don't have anything against R1. When the time comes when I would need them I wouldn't hesitate to buy some. But for the time being I mostly cut grass so the R4 work great since I clean a bit of snow also. I would asume turf tire wouldn't be too good in the snow without chains so thats why I went with th R4's.
