R-1 for tractors. Tractors where made to push-pull loads, Max traction is a must.
R-4 for industrial type equipment. Backhoes, stuff that gets intermittently ran stationary or used on hard, paved surfaces. Harder compound rubber, broad flat lugs and thicker sidewalls its a tire designed for non-ag applications. More for high load carrying and stability than traction.
Has anybody seen r-1 tires on a backhoe, skidsteer, snorkel or a rough terrain forklift or a compact loader such as kubotas 410 or a 520?
Our neighbors got some work done by a contractor this year, and they were using a old Ford backhoe/loader which looked like it had R1's on the rear. A rear sight...
