My 850 has 3 rib tractor tires and it doesn't seem too bad....but maybe I'm just used to it. By any chance you don't have a front end loader on that tractor do you? If you do, that will increase steering effort needed by a factor of at least 5.

You'll have to learn to drive with your thumbs outside the rim of the wheel to avoid breaking a thumb when the front wheel hits a big rock or falls in a hole. The expensive fix is to add power steering. Check the link below, but get ready for sticker shock. The really good things cost what they're worth!
