Backhoe Has any used a frame mount backhoe with turf tires?

[TruChaos]

Has anyone here used a frame mount backhoe with the Jinma turf tires? I was wondering what you're experiences may have been, especially with the Jinma 284.

Thanks

Yes, I use an LW6 backhoe on my 284 which has turf tyres. While I have not done many hours yet, have used it three times with good results.

Yep I used my 284 with turfs and the frame mounted lw6 backhoe no problems except some of the places I was digging were so wet that when I went to move the tractor the turfs filled with mud and just spun.even in 4 wheel drive with the diff lock on. I had to engage the hoe and use the bucket to push the machine along out of the mud.

When I bought my Kubota It had turf tires. I only had about 5" ground clearance at the bottom of the BH. I kept getting hung up. I also had problems with the turfs filling up with mud on wet ground. I ended up trading them for R4s. I did find the turfs floated well and left little or no ground damage.
