tallen4392 67 #1 Posted January 4, 2016 HI I was wondering what is a good rear tire with some grip that wont tear up my lawn i have a few small hills ag tires ??? They are going on a 314-8 . Thanks Also could i go a little bigger than 23 x 8.50 x 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scotty 252 #2 Posted January 4, 2016 I use ag tires on my b-80 and mowed lawn with it. Never really had an issue with it tearing up the lawn. They are loaded and have wheel weights. Ive gone up to 23x10.50-12 on original wheel horse rims. I prefer the 23x8.50-12 size tires myself personally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great traction on turf as well as blacktop. Will go anywhere without spinning or ripping up the soil. For all purpose tires, they are great.

Jrblanke 840 #8 Posted January 4, 2016 What size deck are you running? My 42" side discharge would not work with the wider tires because the tires would hit the deck wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,587 #9 Posted January 4, 2016 This tractor rarely see's a mower deck but when I did run a deck with these tires I ran a 42 RD...it was close but didn't hit. Mike........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TDF5G 2,051 #12 Posted January 4, 2016 I had problems with traction on hills in my yard with the original turf tires on my B-80. I put on AGs and problem solved. Been running them for 20 years now. I noticed that if you do spin a tire, the turfs will leave a bigger spot in the yard than the AGs also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tallen4392 67 #13 Posted January 5, 2016 I have a 42 inch rd deck on it do you think 10.50 ag tires will rub or am i better off with 8.50 ?? Thanks again folks Does anyone have any pics with the larger tire on there machine ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDF5G 2,051 #14 Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Here is a pic of my B-80 (long frame) with 23 X 8.50 AGs. It's a 36 RD deck. I would think it would clear the 42 RD deck also. I don't have any mowers on any of my tractors now or I'd get a better pic and measure the clearance. Edited January 5, 2016 by TDF5G 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scotty 252 #15 Posted January 5, 2016 I think it would partially matter depending on which brand of tires you buy i find that deestones run smaller than other brands. I like bkt ag tires myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They steer great in the snow mud and dirt. Best tire for the money. There a tube type tire. Edited January 6, 2016 by scotty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tallen4392 67 #21 Posted January 6, 2016 Just one more question is there any benefit to getting the 10.50 tire over the 8.50 thanks for all the response great site 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDF5G 2,051 #22 Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) If you run chains you might have a clearance issue with the fenders from the 10.50s maybe. I cannot say for certain, none of my tractors have 10.50s. Most websites have specs of their tires where you can find out the overall diameter. Edited January 6, 2016 by TDF5G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,587 #23 Posted January 6, 2016 I mounted my 10.5's on a set of wide rims off a 520 with the correct offset and although I don't run chains they would clear the fender and under-fender fuel tank. Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel Horse started selling the 48" snow blade for the 1990 -on 520-H to fix the issue.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
