Have thought about this before, was thinking about it the other day, and just saw post by TXBLU that reminded me. Radial tires on a tractor, when to, when not to? Advantages, disadvantages? I've got turf tires on my Deere, came that way. If had a sod farm, I suppose would be ok, but I don't have a sod farm. Can't do a lot with them, they like to spin under load.

Perhaps Radials cost more up front, but pay for themselves? Those turf tires are going to go, that's for sure. What to replace them with? What say you?
