Turf tyres on Avant

[benedmonds]

Our little Avant, 540 needs some new tyres. We are mostly garden s and domestic work so thinking about turf tyres. Any views/recommendations?

Redstone Tyres in Ford, West Sussex would almost definitely have something, worth a call.

There’s a set on eBay at the moment! No idea if the price is good or not.

Turf tyres are soft not always suited to loader work, depends what you do they also have no traction in the wet, I run ag and industrial pattern neither cut up badly, traction do suffer from punctures more but in mud they are the only one that work ask yourself why a part used set of tyres are up for sale

I’m getting turf tyres for mine. I’ll have two sets of rims though.

 

loader specific turf tyres will be rated to the right weight, don’t worry about that.

My Tobroco giant has turf tyres they are BKT will need to look to see what spec they are, any time I got it stuck was when it bellied out so no matter what tyres would have made no difference. 

If garden work you shouldn't need the extra grip.

I ran turf pattern tyres for one set great for turf laying and working in the dry as soon as a bit of moisture appeared they spun. Trying to carry large roll turf up slight slope just sat and spun, couldn’t drive in a straight line on slope with bucket of soil , very soft side walls, sliced and gouged by stones, but didn’t mark lawns at all and wore out very quickly on tarmac and concrete 

found the industrial pattern much better and lasted a lot longer , still have turf set just in case though and bar grip ag pattern just for muddy jobs put on set on forwards and one on backwards
