I have a TC25D with the standard turf tires. I am starting to notice shallow depressions in my yard where my tires ride from cutting the lawn. I am always careful not to cut the lawn when the ground is wet and soft (not like we've had any rain around here anyway), and I try to avoid running the same pattern week to week. I used to own a very old and tired Kubota B7200, and I didn't have this problem. The Kubota had wider, more squared tires that seemed to float better and distribute the weight more evenly. Of course it was probably a little lighter as well; that helps. New Holland's turf tires seem to be pretty narrow and the tread area is very rounded. This tends to concentrate the weight into a small area. Not good. My dealer mentioned Galaxy tires, and said they use them of turf farms, golf courses, etc. I saw them first hand and they too look very balloon like and rounded; they are wider however. Does anybody know where I can get the "Kubota" style turf tire, which is wide and square (the tread is flat not rounded from sidewall to sidewall)?
