936 is needing some new IF boots before long. BKTs are coming in considerably less than anything else, 5k less than one brand. Are they worth a punt? The trelleborgs have done well doing nearly 6k hours with tread left but side walls are starting to crack. Never run BKTs on high hp tractor before, anyone with any experience?

We have BKT on our 8360r and our 7310r and can’t fault them for grip but can’t really tell how they are going to wear as they are only 2 yr old but look good so far . If I had a tractor with 6000hrs I would go for BKT unless I was going to keep it for another 6000hrs . How many hours do you keep the tractors for ?
