Hi All,
I have a B7100HST 2wd with turf tires (50% wear) fitted. I am getting a lot of wheelspin while trying to use a rear blade to grade sand. The blade itself weighs 240lb.
I dont want to change to Ag tires as they will tear up my lawn. Will filling the tires help or should I be look at getting a 4wd tractor ?

Yes, filling the tires will help, but may or may not help enough to suit you.

I use bar tires all the time for mowing, and as long as you remain in 2wd, they don't tear up the lawn at all.
I even have a complete spare set of turf tires that I had on the tractor exactly once.
