Rear Tires for Brush Hogging

Posted by John - New York on September 23, 2005 at 16:59:04 from (209.150.244.191):

My standard 16.9-30 loaded tires on my tractor do not stand up to the abuse caused by cut off trees that act as pungy sticks while I brush hog. I end up with sticks stuck into my 6 ply rated Titan Ag rear tires causing flat tires.

I'm looking into either having them foam filled or replacing them with Forestry Primex LS-2 tires with kevlar and steel belts. Either method is expensive - around $750 to $850 each tire.

Those rubber "tire guards" are $360 each and I doubt they're as good as the other options I mentioned.

Has anyone had satisfactory results combating this serious problem and what would you recommend? Price is a consideration, of course, but continual tire repairs is also costly!

Thanks for you're ideas!
