B xx20 series with bar turf tires

[gabrichter]

the B2920 came in with the 31" bar turfs on rear and different style 22" type turf up front. Dealer offered to put standard turfs on but after looking hesitantly over agreed to leave them on. I will be using it on grass/dirt and snow so covering type of use. Any one out there have these and give me you opinion on typical use and how they performed.

Turfs work better on snow & grass, and they are great on dirt... Most motor graders and heavy equipment, when switched to turf type tread preform better..... But they are not the best in Mud.

Just making sure no one confuses the standard turf tire with the bar/turf that is coming on my B2920 they are quite different.

Are the two styles compatible in terms of tire rotation? If it's like using ags in back and turfs in front, probably not such a good idea.

 

[B2400]

A friend has the bar turfs on the rear of his B2410 and absolutely swears by them. The only disadvantage is he must use a slightly shorter front tire to make axle ratios work and with that, a slight loss in ground clearance.

I have the bar/turfs and have been very satisfied with them.

I'm another satisfied owner of bar/turfs. I searched on this site quite a bit about tires before getting my 2320 and ended up with the bar/turfs.

Sounds like they will be good tire, just don't really like the mismatch of tread on back to front, wish the fronts were similar or close. I am hoping I will not need chains for blowing snow in the winter not cheap at around 230.00 for rears. Overall on turf and dirt they should be exceptional.

Whats a bar turf? Are you refering to the R4 industrial tire?

Nope. See the two "barred" tires in the stack of tires in this photo?
