Anybody have some or know where I can find some? These half-gone turf tires ain't gettin' it on the slip 'n slide I call home.
I know my Dixie Chopper ZT mower came through with turf tires & I traded them for ag tires the next day; turfs spin on some of my ground, where ags do just fine.If you're looking for AG (R1) tires to improve traction on snow and Ice, you're going the wrong direction.
Ag (R1) tires provide less traction than Turfs (R3).
Industrial (R4) will do even less.
If you're looking for improvement in mud than, yes AG's are the best.
That's a game changer I hadn't thought aboutRemember, if you go to Ag tires you have to get different wheels also! Might try some chains, even rubber chains.

You're saying turf tires will go better in snow than ag tires? No rubber tire without chains is going to do much on ice, but why wouldn't cleated ag tires do better in snow than turf tires? I don't understand.
Primary reason for buying the tractor was to plow my 600' lane.
I tried plowing about 4" of snow yesterday with these turf tire; pretty much an exercise in futility. I started thinking in terms of a set of chains, but I was all over the internet trying to find them...no such luck. For some dumb reason, I tried Tractor Supply; not a tractor tire to be had, let alone chains to fit one. Plenty of tires & chains for ATV's, garden tractors & motorcycles, but none for farm vehicles; TSC's become too cityfied, I guess.If you're looking for AG (R1) tires to improve traction on snow and Ice, you're going the wrong direction.

All valid questions:Yes chains will help!
I am wondering if you have any weight on the tractor.
What are you using to plow?
