More Q's on Tubed vs Tubless Tires

[woodlandfarms]

Pretty close to buying a tractor. Following the how to repair tire guide post. But... My property has a second homesite that burned down a number of hears ago. I fear nails.

This said. In our area we are offered Beet Juice. No once has mentioned it yet so anyone have any comments on it?

Second, I was told by my dealer that R1 Ag tires are only sold Tubed. I will need to fill as I am on a sloped environment. I would love to be able to repair my own tires as I do on my cars, but clearly with a tubed tires this will not be an option. Are R4 Tires tubless?

Any more insight on this subject would be apreciated.

I have some R1 Goodyear Duratorque's on a JD 870 that are tubeless and the stock tires on my JD 3520 are R4's and they are also tubeless. If you are going to be working on a lot of sloped ground go with the R1's. R4's break traction too easy.

My R1's are tubeless.

This is interesting...can you plug tubeless R1's or do you have to patch them from the inside?

Mine are plugged.
