Tires Turf Tires for 1610d?

[kalel]

I purchased my 1610d just a few months ago to put my own yard in. I was planning on selling it once my lawn was in (due to the aggressive tires). Now that I have lived with a FEL, I am not sure that I can live without one. Can I put turf tires on this and keep it forever? Any ideas where to look for these?

Thank you

Try looking on the YAHOO Yanmar_tractor group the info is on there for the 1610d, by the way if you don't mind me asking what did you pay for your 1610D.

You'll need to preserve the current ratio of front to rear (rolling circumference).

I have a 1602D, and here is what I did, i purchased a cheap set of John Deere Turfs with rims (rears) brand new on Ebay. I measured my ratio prior to mounting, then I had a wheel spacer/adapter made to match the bolt circle on the JDs with the Yanmar bolt circle (this it the biggest problem). Once the spacer was installed, I measured the rolling circum, of the rears, calculated what the fronts should be and found an appropriate tire (Carlisle....), i then found a JD rim that would fit my fronts and the tires and purchased those.


A little work, but they work great. I then had them loaded with CaCl and have never looked back, the best upgrade I have done to my tractor.


Cheers,
Rob

I split the difference. I had Hey Wheel make a set of rims for me. I put industrial tires on them. I use it in the yard all the time with very little marking.

I paid 7400 delivered to my door (Koyker loader is 2 years old). I purchased a box scraper and a 60" landscaping rake separately. I love this tractor but am still contemplating selling it and getting a good garden tractor with a johnny bucket on it.
