You hit on my pet peeve.....rough riding tractors. An example of total disregard for operator comfort, check out the rear tire load rating, 4 ply, of compact tractors, especially the smaller ones. I have/had a couple of different colored, 1800#, basic 25 HP tractors with 16.5x12 Industrial rears....common on dealer's lots. Rating on the 4 ply tire is about 2700# EACH, at rated pressure (recommended in owner's manuals) and a seat with no springs................... Ok so pacifists say.....that's because of tractors that may be equipped with Back Hoes......yeah 1 in 5 maybe if that many.
So I thought if I went with a turf, 4 ply, I'd help solve the problem and I installed seat springs off Cub Cadet ZT mowers (softer than most ZT seat springs). I got the Carlisles and mounted them and I could let all the air out of them and they would support the weight of the tractor....that was a $600 puke for nothing.
To add to that there aren't any wheel weights available (no holes in wheels to mount them if there were) and having tried filling the tires, forget that when you combine it with low air pressure....tire falls off the wheel.
