Tires AG vs GP tires

[MESSMAKER]

1*I say they are are superior in most cases.
2*Gp tires turn into racing slicks in mud just like R4s and Industrials do.

If you are filling them up with mud, you will get better traction with ag tires but you will end up with ruts as they surch for traction. The best option my be to wait till it is drier. I know that you can't always wait but if you don't want a mess, it's a good idea.

I ended up getting ags on my ct225 by accident, I must say that Now I really like them. I've heard that the ct225 has a tendency to bog down quite a bit. I havn't noticed It much on my machine. I may be full of !@#$, but I feel like the ag tires weigh much less and there is less surface contact with the ground, therefore when going into a pile of dirt, my tractor continues to dig and go forward as opposed to just bogging down. I'm sure that this is not the case on the 30 and 35 hp machines, but on the 25hp, the lighter tires may make the difference., just an oppinion..

If anything it may be that they are shorter thereby lowering the gearing slightly. I can spin my R4's in low range, on dirt easily, it is when I am on dry solid ground that I can bog the engine or going up hills in mid range. I still think it is the hydraulic pressure relief valve set too low as I can keep my RPM's going up steep hills but it looses drive power to the wheels in mid range. I have had one confirmed report of this already but I have not had time to get mine back to the dealer. Interestingly, I have not been able to find similar reports on Kioti CK25/27 HST's which leads me to believe this could be the problem since they are the same drive train.

My 225 bogs on steep hills when Bush hoging in mid range. I freguently have to let off, and let it catch up. it is getting better as it gets more hours on it but I think it is a HP shortage. I would love to find that it is a valving adjustment.
