Overview
A working landscaper shares why he switched his John Deere 4052R to high-float turf tires (the kind used on golf courses) and whether they hold up in daily commercial use. The focus is specifically on ground disturbance in residential yards, with a direct comparison to his smaller 1025R. Short and narrow in scope, best for landscapers weighing turf tires on a mid-size utility tractor.
