Tires Turf vs Ag tires?

LBrown59 and Grrrr:

I do not disagree with you especially when dealing with mud. I was trying to be "balanced" on the tire issue. A lot of TBN posters like R-4's due to their ply ratings for FEL use and puncture resistance in the woods. Would I purchase R-3's or 4's for my tractor- No Way. For my needs I really need R-1's and I have a heavier ply rating on my R-1's than the usual 4 ply rating. Jay

Thank you all for your opinions. Now for the stupid questions...

1) What are my chances of selling my old Turf's for enough to cover the aggrevation of selling them? How much could I ask if anything?

2) What kind of $$$'s am I looking at for the new Ag's?

thank you again... this is a great forum with many good opinions.

Jimmer,

I don't see anything in the YM model tire chart that will interchange.

You have very wide, short front and rears (yes typical for Turf's) but they will not cross to OEM rims on the YM models.

If it's possible (and I'm not sure it is) the best scenario would be to swap wheels and tires with someone who has a model in the YM1401-YM1510 range. If the bolt pattern is the same, both parties should keep the correct rolling circumference for 4WD.

My F16d has 5x12 on fronts and 8.3x20 on the rears. I just bought a new pair of rears at the local discount tire store. Very similar to OEM. I think they are Korean made.

Thanks again.

If anyone wants to swap, please let me know. You can email me at jimmer2880@myactv.net

For funding reasons, I'm hoping for a swap before I have to go the "buy it new" route.
