I have a John Deere 855 4WD. It currently has rear turf tires on it. I plant about 6.5 acres of corn for food plots. I need more traction in the rear, I would like to find a different tire to put on. My tire guy says I will need new wheels. Does anyone have any info on what I need and where to get it. I have a feeling if I go to the John Deere dealership, I will end up paying an arm and a leg.

Yep, the ag R-1 tires do require a different wheel than do the turf tires. Perhaps you'd be lucky enough to find a used set of JD 855 wheels with R-1 tires on them. Have you considered rear wheel weights? (BM17965) That should help a lot.

PS: I thought mine was about the only 855 in Iowa!

I've got a 755 with turf and a 4400 with R-4. Can't tell a lot of difference but the R-4 are rated for a little more traction. Ag tires give the best tractor but propose a roll-over problem for light tractors...the turf and r-4 will slid on steep surface but the ag tires will bite in.

Mark:

I, too, have an 855 withh turf tires. I was thinking of going to a semi-lug style, I think they're called R-4's. Look like those on a skid loader. I thought I'd get a little more traction, and maybe still do a decent job mowing the grass.

I'll be anxious to see the recommendations you get here.
