puncture resistance of ag vs ind tires

   / puncture resistance of ag vs ind tires #71  
In the end, I think I will like a hydro for the loader use. I know my knee might. :)

The reason I went HST. After my last left knee scope, the Dr said no more. The next will be full replacement ! OUCH !

If you want puncture resistance you want forestry tires.

I had mine done 4 years ago really wasn't bad. Getting towards time to think about having the other knee done.

I went with loaded R4's on mine. I have had *zero* traction issues pushing large piles of snow in winter. The areas I'm working snow are quite flat, and our ground freezes up hard, freezes pretty deep, and stays frozen all winter. So, other soil/ground conditions vary, depending on where you're at.

I do mow a couple of fields in summer, and I have one side hill that gets particularly steep, so I have to be careful there. The steepest part I back down and mow upwards, and it hits 22 degree angle.

As much as I love ag's.. I'm still leaning towards industrial due to them handling the loader better. I hate looking down and seeing smooshed front tires that are already pushing max inflation when moving hay bales.

I have thought about possibly keeping my Industrials on the front for loader and adding AGs for the rear.
I just haven't had any real traction issues with the industrial rears yet

Reason she said what she did was, that was my 3rd scope on the same knee !

My vote goes for R4, I’ve had zero traction issues. Used it recently for pulling and pushing brush, Day after a rain on my SCUT.
