Proper Florida tires for Wheelhorse

[FLtractor 86]

Evening, 

Unsure where to post this.

For those of us living in Florida or the hotter southern states that have indigenous plant life that may not exist up north, with barbs, thorns, pointy sharp tire puncturers… what would be an ideal tire type to get for Wheelhorse tractor in this environment of grass, gravel, rocks. No snow.

Tires really depends on what you plan to do with the tractor. Turf tread for lawn care, Ag tread for ground engaging implements.

 

These 8 ply tires should get you through the brush. These tires are kind of multi purpose. Even if they don't hold air they will still stay on the rim. I have a friend that runs these with no air in them all the time.

These tires are claimed to be even more multi purpose. I want a set of these but the sticker shock holds me back. Being 6 ply they should hold up well in the pickers.

You can get some Horseshoe brand AG bar tires they are 10 ply!!!  They have them in 23x10.5-12 size. Not sure how you will get them mounted but once you do you shouldn't have any issues haha.

Absolutely ... I should have tubed them and gave up on keeping them aired. At 6 ply they don't really need air.

I have 10 acres just south or Bushnell FL, I use my Charger 12 for anything and everything on this property. Hauling dirt, rock, firewood etc, plowing driveway and spreading limestone. It has greenbriar like I have never seen before. Think "Jack and the Beanstalk". One inch thick and better stalks. Raspberry stalks, grapevine, sand spurs and every other manner of pointy vegetation known to man. I am using a Maxxis AT22x10-12. Even wound barbed wire around axle a few times running fence lines. Never flatted. They are tubeless. Work well in sandy leaf littered terrain. The AT tires have a wider flotation type profile and work well in this soft sandy environment. Look at Craigslist in your area, and Ocala, Always see ATV tires listed that will work.;
