Another update. After a couple of months use these seem to be doing good. The hole I poked in one on the thorny vine hasn't leaked from the plug job. I had my property clear cut so I'm now running over stumps, limbs, and tree trunks. The old 855 just hobbles right over them and hasn't had any trouble with these mud grips.

I really need a heavier tractor with a loader but this one will have to do for now.

I'm pretty happy with the BKT's I purchased, they do clear the belly mower , and I find myself using the 4 wheel drive less!

Another update. Plugged hole started leaking. Puncture tore open a little more and a plug will no longer seal it. I bought a tire patch kit that had 2 small diameter patches, a large diameter patch, and glue. Pulled the tire off, put 1 of the small patches over the inside of the tear, cut another to go outside between the tread blocks, then put the large patch over the small one inside.

Hope this holds.

Tube it. I had patches that included an integral plug, worked very well. No idea where I got them.
