Backhoe Tires?

[bullskin]

I was in a hurry and did not check my new backhoe front tires at the shop. When I got home I found they were Firestone Regencies instead of Industrial Specials. In other words, farm tires. They are 14 ply, however. I will use these on rough ground, bouncing off tree "stumps" (auto check won't let me spell "stoBs"). I cannot find much info online. Does any MMer know if I should replace these with non-farm rubber? Thank you.

AWD?

I can't imagine that the difference would warrant dropping the $$$$.

The farmers around here are pretty hard on stuff. I won't let them borrow my backhoe any more afraid they will tear it up.

Sorry I don't have better advice. I plan to run mine untill I get all the good out of them.

You want the industrial tires or deal with the thin farm tire issues.

I wish more people would use a non-farm rubber

I use organic, non GMO tires on my farm equipment.

I wouldnt be carrying a load up high with the farm tires. The issue would be rolling them off the bead when you turn. Check the load rating on them and compare it to a true backhoe tire..
