Tires in the snow

[JJT]

I blow snow so I don't need the traction you guys need to push or pull snow. I'm in the minority but I love my R4's!

BOB will agree with u . i have r4's and plow a lot of snow up here, have not found them to be a problem, the only time i think i woud prefer ag's is in wet sloppy mud or loose dirt. i had a ford 2n wirh ags and chains and this bota with r4's and no chains can do way much more with no slipping. and if she does slip alittle, i back off the fel and go slower.THERE AIN'T ON SUCH THING AS ONE PERFECT TIRE .

There is too much fun playing with big tractors in slop like that isn't there John. Only problem is cleanup as that stuff finds its way everywhere.

John,
I kid you not..for that photo looks like some of our country roads during the spring thaw...pick a rut and hope you make it /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif..than the town closes the road when they get real bad.

Thanks people! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif You have all helped me decide to get a set of ags. My R4s are great for our steep front lawn. But for pulling our 4 ft box blade through the sand, they are maginal. And I tired of digging holes with the tires! There is nothing more frustrating than trying to smooth the dirt and have the tires dig holes because they slipped in the sand.

P.S. Sorry to have added this question to the photos section (duh). I'll make up for it when I post pictures of the 40 ft wide x 50 ft long by 5 ft deep hole I'm digging in my back yard. I'm making space for a barn. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Search for Glennmacs "Ag elimination Rule" post. It's a good approach to figuring out if there is any reason not to get Ags.
