Before I need a repair

[dogtired]

Should I foam fill my tires on a TC40A NH , I am always brush hogging Multi Flora Rose Bush.
For those that know what it is ... well will I get flats ?

Probably.

Foam is really for areas that give a lot of punctures. Spendy stuff, but in the long run cheaper than having the mobile truck come out to repair the tire. Some would say easier than removing the wheel when you get that flat out in the middle of a muddy field.

Dogtired if you are only going to do it because of flats try putting slime in your tires first. I have seen examples of how well it works and I have it in one tire that had a flat and I did not feel like taking it off to get it filled.

I've turfs on my JD 4010. Put slime in the fronts when one of them went down. Haven't had a flat on the filled rears yet: 2004 with 340 hours, about half with brush hog. These tires are pretty tough (Titans), MUCH tougher than the ones I had on my Gravely.

I didn't want to have to worry about flats out in the woods dragging logs out so I had Les Schwab fill my fronts with foam. That was $2 a lb. 160 lbs for each tire 9.5 x16" It does get spendy. Worth it for me compared to dragging a tire out of the woods.
