Anybody with all foamed tires?

TarNFeather · Jul 5, 2021

Just had a rear tire punctured and all my liquid ballast poured out on my Kubota BX23 brush hogging. This was in an area that I first did last year, leaving a bunch of sharp sapling spikes (punji sticks!!!). My front tires are foamed. This is just going to happen again unless I foam the rear tires too. I know foaming the rear tires is likely to rattle my eye teeth out of my head but I was just wondering if anyone else has all 4 foamed & what do they think.

All 4 of our NH TC40D's tires are foam filled... they were filled prior to our purchase, by the previous owner...

The ride is stiff... no way around it.. with the foam that is in ours tires has no give.. but we have become used to it...
I do like the fact we can run in our woods without the concerns of a flat. We use 4wd for just about all loader work. They work OK in the snow in 4wd, but I really only use it to move snow piles back, not for snow removal... Chains are a must on ice... I do find they will slip / spin easier because they have no give, but not an issue with 4wd... also on soft lawns they tend to leave tire marks, again no give....

Thanks! All good info. None of those things would be a problem for me either.
