Ricers vs R1 ags

[clemsonfor]

Clemsonfor -- Not sure if you understood my post. I was talking about slipping when using the R3s not the rice tires. I haven't used the rice tires much yet...

I know, i was saying i dont seem to slip in my rice tires. Then i started rambling about my topography and my ricers.

I've had both tractors with rice tires and now with Ag-1 tires, they each have their own purpose, as mentioned the rice tires are designed for wet marshy grounds, I found that the looser i could make the soil when plowing the better traction I would gain with the rice tires, although rice tires can definitely tear-up the sod while the tractor is pulling up an incline or under torque, now when I got my other tractor with the AG-1 tires it was all new to me and had to re-learn how to gain traction, when trying to plow at what i thought was the same rate and speed I had been using with my other tractor & rice tires, I found it to do more spinning than plowing, I soon learn that I could slow the engine speed down and drop to a lower gear, the tractor started to dig in and pull the plow as it should,.... the Ag-1 are better as to not tear up the sod but still can if when needing to pull up hill, either type tire if only rolling across sod seems not to bother it, My lawn tractor with turf tries can do its fair amount of tearing up the sod if when tunning it sharply,

If you want better surface contact have you thought of some R4s? I have R1s om my Yanmar and even with those I wish they had better surface contact. You can see I almost got a set of R4s for my tractor but they were 1" to small and wouldnt work with the 4wd.
