Overview
Tiller, trencher and garden tractor owners get a small tire with deep, sharp angled bar lugs that dig into soil. The self cleaning pattern sheds dirt as it turns, and a wide footprint with a tough compound handles rough ground.
Traction in loose dirt and mud is the strength, thanks to deep angled bars and self cleaning spacing. Those same lugs mark turf, and maximum pressure is not listed.
Who it's for
Gardeners running tillers and trenchers in soft soil will use the bite. People mowing finished lawns should choose a turf tread.
Pros and cons
- Deep bar lugs for traction
- Self cleaning design
- Damage resistant compound
- Light and easy to mount
- Rim not included
- Marks finished turf
- Maximum pressure not listed
Performance notes
Grip in loose soil comes from deep angled bars that bite and then release dirt as they rotate. The wide footprint spreads load so the machine sinks less. A heavy compound resists cuts from roots and rocks.
