Reckon I can put mud grips on my zero turn?

It's obvious my yard is never going to dry out and the grass is going to keep growing. Which renders my bad arse 60" cutting commercial Gravely into a mud slinging, spinning out little bitch of sliding into a ditch piece of fairy shite. I need some traction. What would happen if I strapped something with tread on the back? Would it tear my yard to pieces or be like diving by zero or something? Or would it simply restore my Gravely's testicles and keep me from having to winch it out of every hint of moisture of planet Earth? Tia

Had a grasshopper at the farm with mud grips. They looked like small four wheeler tires. Tore everything up to hell. Don't do it if you don't want ruts.
Maybe some little knobby tires would work without being as destructive.

Gotcha. I at least need some ATs. These snake bellies are killing me

See if they make something like those contractor tires they put on yard tractors. That would help. Zero turns get stuck on wet pavement with slicks.
ETA: my driving habits may have been the primary cause of major ruts and crop circles everywhere, not necessarily the mud grips. It was a barn and pond bank with tractor ruts everywhere so nobody cared.

Pops had some fairly aggressive tires on his Grasshopper and it did okay. Granted, he was cutting 3 acres and cared more about not having tall grass than a golf course, but it wasnt terrible.

They make "all-terrain" tires for them, and also tires that basically look like Boggers. The bogger looking tires will make grooves in your yard, so look at the all terrain ones like posted above

I wonder if you sipped, the tires you have, if that would work.

As wet as it is right now, it doesnt matter what tire you have. Gravely mowers are extremely heavy and will rut up a wet yard in a heart beat. Even my little Toro just sinks in this crap.

If I run through my Jack Russel's piss I spin my tires.

Mine is stuck out back right now. Grabbing a bite to eat then pulling it out.

I can't tell you how many times I've had to pull mine out. the zd's are heavy 1700lbs without anyone on it.

Think you'd tear up the grass pretty bad

I use Dixie Choppers in my lawn biz, they are for the most part lighter and cut wet grass as good or better then any mower i have tried.They have tractor like tires on them and leave no tracks just do not zero turn with them roll back first then turn around or they will dig a nice hole in the ground. lol
