RayS 79 Posted December 24, 2007 Welcome to the club! I personally like the super lugs, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris727 1,849 Posted December 24, 2007 I would say the super lugs should be fine for yard work, if you're going to be mowing with it you don't want anything that is too aggressive or it may tear up your lawn a little, especially if wet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killer_A-C 0 Posted December 25, 2007 I like the Carlisle TRU-POWERS myself. The bars are closer together and they look sharper.JMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tractorguy 0 Posted December 25, 2007 which one would have more traction. will be using it to go up some slopes,through some mud, using it like its a tractor.which would be the best all around tire. don't want to tear up the lawn, but also want it to go where i want to go with out getting stuck, and have the traction to pull what i want to pull.

RayS 79 Posted December 25, 2007 My neighbor uses a grasshopper simular to this and it doesn`t tear up his lawn. Either tire would probably be fine if a zero turn doesn`t tear up his lawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatrickE 0 Posted December 25, 2007 I have 10.5 tru-powers on my 3416H, keep them on all year round, they are nice for mowing, don't tear up the ground. I mow some slopes and off camber stuff and I don't spin at all. I can back up ditch slopes even if its damp. I have them full of w/w fluid and push snow with them too, no chains or extra weights either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MPH 12 Posted December 25, 2007 If your willing to pay the extra price find some Firestone 23 degreee ags, otherwise I'd say go with the tru-powers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevindb85 0 Posted December 25, 2007 The Tru-powers have the bars spaced closer together, so should provide a little more traction than the Super lugs. The Tru-powers also have a sharper shoulder. I personally use the Superlugs because I like the looks better and I like the more rounded shoulder. They are within a few dollars of each other, and the difference in traction should not be all that much. Either way I would fill them with fluid, and you will be alright.

HubbardRA 19 Posted December 25, 2007 Marty, do they make the 23 degree AGs in the 10.5 size? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MPH 12 Posted December 25, 2007 Not sure Rod. If you want I'll PM you the guys bussiness phone when I get back to Tok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HubbardRA 19 Posted December 26, 2007 Marty, I am not looking for any at the moment. I was just asking, since back when I was tractor pulling, everyone griped when we were limited to the 10.5 tires in a class, because of the angle of the lugs. You couldn't get a 10.5 inch tire with the shallower angle that was on the 12 inch tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bkassulke 25 Posted December 26, 2007 I checked the fireston website under the 23x10.5x12 and they do not offer any 23 degree ags, they are only available in the 8.5 width. Benjamin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
albj93 4 Posted December 26, 2007 Put me down for a vote for the Carlisle Tru-Powers. I have them on my 7790 diesel and the 3416. Also filled with washer fluid. The tire/bar edge of the Tru-Powers seem to sit square on the ground instead of the rounded edges of the Super lugs that I have on the B-10.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtsaver 1 Posted December 26, 2007 I have some old Goodyears(23x10.50x12)on the 17GTH-L we use for mowing(the tread is closer to the superlug)and find it fine for mowing and other chores. They do fine pulling loads uphill and do not tear up the yard as bad as turf tires do. On the other tractors I use for snow work,garden plowing and such I use the tru-powers. I feel they have a better bite due to the cleat angle. Anyway,that's what works for me. Larry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
