B2320 Turf or R4's

[Vtktm]

I am going to buy a 2320 the next few weeks. I have read post's on turf/r4's. I will be mowing about 2 acres of lawn. Some field work. Winter will have a fel for the drive. Seems like the Ind tire should work ok. Anyone with a 2320 please give me your Thoughts.

I would actually recommend ag's over either turfs or R4s. I bought turfs and ags with my BX2200. The turfs spin when plowing or doing heavy loader work, whereas the ags get a firm grip and yet do no harm at all to my lawn. My turfs have been sitting under the house for the last 6 years. I will gladly sell them for half price to anyone close enough to pick them up. Otherwise, shipping makes the cost not worth it.

You might also want to consider bar turfs. That's what I have on my 2620. My dealer recommended them over R4. Ask your dealer if he has any for you to look at. The rears look kind of like ags, but with much smaller bars. Just by looking at them I think they will do a better job gripping than R4's in loose dirt or mud. You can get an idea of what the look like from the following picture:

The front tires don't look at all like the rears. They look more like regular turfs. I haven't taken them on my lawn yet, and don't plan to since I currently have the tires loaded, so I can't really say what type of damage they do.
