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!
