I love this tractor! Mad skills!

I posted a few days ago that I think that tractors with automotive front tires are pretty ugly, and I still feel that way. But I do have to eat some crow. I love this tractor. However, it has rear turf tires and that does change its appearance. Some of you may have seen this before, and if you have I'm sorry for reposting. But I just love it!

I remember your post about car tires on the front. At the time I thought "....you never had tri-ribs gouge the crap out of the turf on a tight turn...!"

John Smith ran that tractor pictured as a mowin' machine. Apparently, he has decided he doesn't like SOS transmissions and has converted that puppy to a 4 or 5 speed. But I bet he still has the 'gentle' front tires!

I've been running cheesy little 14" car
tires on my mowing tractor for 10+ years.
They scuff much less than tri ribs.
When I added 200 lbs of weight on the
front I get even less scuffing and very
good steering tracton.

Oh, I've torn up some turf with 3 rib tires, but I just don't like the way the automotive tires look with ag tires on the back, this may be the first one I have seen with automotive tires and turf tires. I know people do what they do to suit them, and if it works for them or if that's what they like, I'm cool with that. I was just expressing my opinion, that's all.

But I do like this tractor with the automotive tires up front and the turf tires on the rear. I can't see a thing about this tractor that I don't like.

I do like my crow medium rare, please.
