Turf Tires vs Bar Tread / Grasshopper Bagging System

[Jim Woods]

I am located in Iowa where we have been receiving rainfall quite frequently. I have a 227 Mid Mount Grasshopper with standard turf tires. I have been told that the Carlisle bar treads will scuff the turf less than the OEM turf tires. True or false? I am quite interested to hear from fellow grass cutters. This is my first post, but I've read several already. I use the three point turn method for the most part and am moving really slowly upon the turns. Also, I am looking for a grass catching system for my Hopper. I'm not certain if this particular forum can be used for buy and sell or not. If not, I am sorry in advance for asking. Love forums, they answer so many questions and save literally thousands of dollars and so much time. Keep up the good works!

I used to have Grasshoppers with the bar treads. Seem like they always tore up the turf more. I have regular tires on my mid mounts now.
