Just had a look at rice paddy tyres, serious tread!

That's not tread - they're paddles!

just make sure you get tubless rim type. ive already destroyed 3 inner tubes by ripping the valves off, so much grip, they spin the rims inside the tyres. and thats in the underbush , soft mossy, full of needle brash and muck

So I've sold the little Iseki finally. It was OK, but just not suitable for working on anything other than flat ground.

 

The Antonio Carrero HST3800 is doing superb work in the stand we are in at the moment. It's able to traverse the side slopes with impunity and has plenty of power to run the winch. On slopes like the one we are working on, I would only want an alpine. I think pretty much anything else would fall over.

Good to follow this thread on mini forestry , yr flexible small impact work fits the bill in a lot of places most companies wouldn't be able to turn a coin. K
