You hit the nail on the head. The R14's are definitely more suited for driving on hard surfaces, grass and packed yards. The Ag tires are more for field work. You have a great dealer to allow you to switch them at a small premium.

R14 is perfect, good mud traction, good floatation, and in the yard with 2wd and open diff it doesn’t tear up yard at all. That’s one thing I love about tractors, very little mess compared to a skidsteer.

I have Ag tires on my L3200 which is my discing and brush mowing tractor and I have R14 on my B2301 loader tractor. And they are both good choices for the intended uses of each tractor, neither tractor is used on pavement the loader tractor is used to move snow on a gravel driveway.

Great video. I’m probably goin with Ag tires because I do a lot of dirt work and pull trees. Plus about 1-2 acres of my pasture get muddy when it rains heavily. I will request the widest tires on the front that won’t void my warranty

If you have mud they are the way to go but if you need to keep a yard in decent shape you have no chance with those ag tires.

Taking ownership shortly of a new Kioti NS 6010 HST, dealer recommended R4 tires because of the overall strength as I'll be in the woods mostly skidding logs running over and digging out stumps, running over boulders and old abandoned dump sites, but the RT14 have my attention just confused which way to go and the dealer needs to know ASAP to get the tractor ready for me. Because they being loaded with Rim Guard I can't exactly have a spare set and swap them out later on.

Those where unusually narrow ag tires. For the size of machine. If it was larger ag on those bigger rims. Ive seen a few that ran industrials on front and ag on rear. Doing mostly loader work on solid ground. But also occasionally need traction pulling a trailer off road ect.

Hadn't heard of the R14s, just the skidsteer type vs ag. Had the unpleasure of driving a new lil JD on the skidsteer type. Bouncy neck breaker and weak traction. Wondered wtf their purpose was. Your new style tires look pliable, just a pinch less aggressive than ag, not as urban as turf tires. Looks like a good compromise, good decision for the job.

@@FirewoodontheHill you may can go even lower than that. You might think that that may be too low. But you’d be surprised at how low of pressure you can run in tractor tires. When you get a chance,…drive it on concrete and see how much of the tire is in contact with the ground. Just look at the “dirt” that you see across the tread of the tire. I usually lower mine to the point that there is all but about 2” of “dirt” on the tread. You’ll get pretty even wear like that. That’s just been my experience with tractor tires.

Not a bad video, but you're misleading other guys who don't know much at all. Those AG R1s you have mounted are clearly over inflated lol you understand it's up to you to adjust the pressure to you use, dropping say 3 psi would make a huge difference for you Clearly though those R14s are a good fit since you're not really working the tractor at all so the lak of bite and soft carcass is a good fit for you.
