Re: (ET) Ag lug tires

[Jim Coate <lists freerangeelectric com>]

Back when we lived in upstate NY, I used a set of these. I got them for 
better traction with a steep path down to a creek. I was surprised that 
they didn't seem to bother the grass, but thought maybe it was the mix 
of tougher grasses and weeds from a likely history of cow pasture. So 
glad to hear they work well for others too.

As to your downside, I'd prefer not to track poop into the garage so 
would view that as a feature :-)
