In Reply to: R4 Tire tread question posted by Dieselrider on December 04, 2016 at 05:28:03:
I bought a 24 hp tractor for around the farm chores and deliberately chose R4s . The rest of my corral runs R1s. I wanted the 4s for a smoother ride but failed to consider the stiff sidewall and 6 ply. Even at 10#, still rough.
After several attempts at solving the problem with home made alternatives, I found an air suspension system on ebay for $375, free shipping.....guy has 7 left at that price if anybody is interested. I don't need the seat part which cut the price in half over complete air seats offered. I know that will solve the rough ride problem. 4wd helps make up for the lack of traction in some of the odd jobs and I loaded them to help in offsetting the FEL weight on the front axle. The other problem with small tractors is odd tire sizes. Makes for a narrow selection market availability.
