Turf to R14T Tires

[therrien]

I will say, without chains, R4's are absolutely appalling in snow. They fill, and from there they turn into slicks.

If a dealer is going to tell me no, or hem and haw over my choice in tire on my machine, I'll go to a new dealer. I've got some further opinions, but they're mean, and I'll keep them to myself.

I went from R4's on unloaded tires on my B1700 to Beet juiced tires with R14's on my LX 2610. Heavier tractor and tires a LITTLE rougher on turf when dry, much rougher when wet. Snow traction like night and day. Excellent snow traction and i was concerned going to a lesser ply tire so I went with the R14 which was the same ply as my R4's. I believe most of the difference in my turf damage is the weight of the tractor and the loaded tires compared with my older smaller tractor. Good luck with your choice.
