In Reply to: Rear Tires posted by D Berry on Saturday, January 31, 2009:
No -- the FEL takes considerable weight off the rears, so it reduces damage (and traction.
The best traction is from steel tracks, right? Well, they are not even allowed on paved roads. Shows that the better the traction, the more the damage.
All you can do to the tractor (short of getting turfs, which might not have enough traction without 4WD) is to replace some or all of the liquid with air, run them a bit soft, and load the bucket.
Your other variable is technique. Mow when the ground is hard (eg not after a rain), and choose directions that don't require as much traction.
It's not the best rig for lawns. Your yanny is heavier than the 'bota, and many 2000s have "paddy" tread -- narrow tires with extra-deep lugs.
