Idustrial Tires on a L4600

[Express]

Im looking for some guidance here. Im about to buy a L4600 with the Bh92 hoe with loaded tires and I was wondering how rough it would that be on my lawn? I wouldnt do it everyday and would wait for dry conditions. I would use the tractor in the woods also and i wasnt sure about the Turf Tire option. Thanks for your help

R1's are tough on lawns, R4 will be quite a bit better since the load is spread over a much larger area of tread. I'd think it should be fine.

What he said ^^^^^^plus the turfs casing is not as robust....not going to hold up as well in the woods.

Unless he gets 8 ply turfs

Even though your rig will be pretty heavy, R4 Industrial Tires will be fine on turf provided the ground is dry. If it is wet and you turn sharply you will tear the turf up in the turn area.

Congratulations on a nice rig.

I have R4's on my DK40SE and I gone across my lawn many times with no noticeable damage. I've not done it when it's been real wet, didn't want push my luck but I suspect there is some wiggle room there, too since the tire itself is wider. Have to say, though, that I would have liked to had R1's at times in the woods due to traction issues with the R4's but even then, was able to work through it OK. R4's were still probably the best option for my situation.
Merry Christmas

Best to leave it in 2wd when on the lawn, 4wd is much harder on turf.
