Just purchased a BX23S. I dont have lawn, so tearing it up isn't an issue. Mostly on loose dirt and clay, have an acre with a lot of pine needles, duff, loose soil and sticks/branches, etc that I will be cleaning up and a gravel driveway.

Dealer said the R4 tires were the best choice for snow out of the three choices (R4, R14 and the turf tires), but when I read up online it seems like the R14 are the superior all-around tire and perform better in the snow when compared to the R4.

I've attached a picture of what most of the property looks like on the one acre. I recently had buddies with a skid steer come in and use a grapple to clean up some brush and grind it up with a masticator, but there's still a lot of work to be done.

What's the consensus? Haven't taken delivery of the tractor yet. Should I try and get them changed to the R14's?

Thanks!
