Tires seem to be a hot topic on this forum so I just wanted to share what I found at the big show.  16 7.50 8. OTR Lawn Trac 4 ply.  They are a little over 7" wide and seem really nice.  Have them mounted on the larger 520 front wheels.  The turfs in the pic are Carlisle of the same size.  They are the same width but the OTRs are a bit taller.  I couldn't be happier with them.

These are the original Carlisles that were onIMG_1237.JPG.df2ed75197fa936254efdd485db670eb.JPG

These are compared to the 16 6.50 I have on now

Yes dirt/wood hauling and snow duty.  Hoping they steer better in the snow and hold better on the hills.

You won't regret running ags in the front - I'm a fan of them due to the extra traction in just about all conditions . It's nice to be able to angle a front blade and have the tractor actually steer it where you want to go , instead of the other way around .

Notice your rear tires have a straight traction bar and your new fronts have a curve in the bar. That's great for steering. 

I think you'll  be more than impressed. 

With that curve steering in reverse should be good as well.
