Tires and traction for Zero Turn Mowers...Solved for me anyway.

[Hay Dude]

I think Grasshoppers come with the 101’s.

Here’s something I have noticed. My new ZD-1211-72 has a low profile tire on it. Get’s better traction than my old ZD-331 with same turf tread pattern.

I ran bar tires on my ZD-331, but they were too aggressive. Went back to turfs.

All flat here. Besides my Kubota F series has a differential lock that I never use.

When I bought my new ExMark Lazer Z it was with the AT101's installed, wanted no part of the ice skate turf tires. Every place I mow is a slope of some kind and the AT101's hold well and as long as I don't act stupid they do not mark up the turf any worse than turf tires.

I have been using Carlisle (now called CarlStar) Versa-Turfs for a few years and have been VERY happy with them:

Versa Turf Tire

Versa Turf Tire is a radial construction for improved flotation, maximizing traction, superior mud-shedding performance. The tire to have in snow and ice.

I went with these for both riders. Don't know if they have a size for ZTRs.

MARASTAR 20808-TO Turf Traction 20x8.00-8 4PR Rear Tire Only for Riding Mowers, Black

It's a combination tread like an R-14. Made a lot of different on my hills.
