So I'd be interested to hear your thoughts about those rear tires.

:beer:

I don't mind them. They are definitely softer and ride significantly better than traditional tires. They have quite a bit of flex to then so really soak up the terrain. They are supposed to have better grip as well but I didn't really notice a big difference there but I'm not mowing crazy hills or anything. At work we have only warrantied a couple out of thousands so they seem to hold up well.

Boost, I know you are trying to stay "hip" with the new kidz... but I don't think running wire wheels & low profile tires on your tractor are what the kidz are doing nowwa days... LOL!! I am not sure I am buying the whole holding up well argument... it looks like even with your smooth terrrain you bent a rim!!..... LOL!!
Seriously though.. i have not ever seen that new tire setup... how long has JD been doing that?? how is the reception from the "ol' farmers" been??

They are called "tweels" and have been around for a few years. A buddy of mine runs a set on his Gravely, they are an option for most commercial makes these days.

They have technically been "out" since around 2005 but became more mainstream and are even a factory option now within the last 8-10 years. You can even get front caster tweels so you can have all 4.

Are they $1400 better (for the rears only) than a standard tire......I'm not sure on that to be honest, but they do ride nice.
