I tested an Attilla, an Etesia model,  many years ago, for a 2 WD machine its traction was phenomenal, only matched by its apparently indestructible nature and cutting prowess.

The test site was bramble covered well-steads on a fairly steep slope.

There had to be a downside but it was not obvious on the test.

How do you get on with thorns deflating the tyres, or do you use runflats? I used to use an old Turner flail mower for bramble, it went through tyres for a past time, I was forever having to change them.

Bramble wont do any thing to them, my tyres have them stuck in all over and they dont seem to cause a problem. I have had one slow puncture after cutting thorns, the one in the pics above. Just put some gunk in there and pumped it back up. Will do the same in the others if i get a problem.

Not an issue on the demo machine, with wide low profile tractor grip type tyres fitted, possibly filled with "gunk" or possibly kevlar ply lined, or else over the couple of hours of demo, the slow, pin-prick leaks were not yet noticable?
