Block pattern Handler tyres

[bcharolais]

I just wonderded what peoples opinions where on block pattern tyres we have always had open centre but have been told they will last longer. However 90% + of our time would be on concrete but we do go to field sometimes are they realy bad for this. Or any recommendations of brands in mid range tyres would be great. If there is a thread on this already please link as have been unable to find any when searching.
Thankyou in advance for any help.

I’ve done 1500hrs on my Michelin bibloads and they’re like new,only downside is they hold muck in the treads,only if you say drive in cattle pen etc.

Got Michelin bibloads and can’t see any disadvantages. They literally don’t wear down much. Bit of a whine 40km/h and great around the yard. We aren’t in livestock sheds but in fields loading compost they are fine.

How would they do loading muck from a field midden when its a bit wet underfoot and your working through 1ft deep ruts? dig along ok or choke up and go slick and go nowhere?

Completely useless loading muck in the field. Fine in dry fields, great on concrete.

Be very careful on side slopes you will end up at the bottom, No lateral traction. otherwise good wear and road comfort.

Haver a look at Vredestein Endurion tyres. The advantages of Bibloads but they self clean. Customers seem to really rate them on new telehandlers.

Handlers in general aren't the best when it's wet, regardless of the tire type. Aside from that, I find them much better than standard ag tires. Much smoother on hard surfaces and better wearing.

Friend has these on new handler and the one prior to that I think and they put some hours on a handler in a year.

We have them on a Manitou. Like them a lot.
Taking silage bales and loading straw in the field the seem to stay on top and make less ruts than the old tyres. Ditto loading muck they don't dig holes when they spin.

Recommend.

We have two rigids, one on each type. Pivot steer on open centre but tyres on it will do 5000hrs whereas the rigids are half that.
The block treads are no worse off road than half worn open centre tyres but far superior on the hard stuff, and ime last about 50% longer.
Avoid Firestone, not a patch on Michelin

I have Michelins on my JCB, replaced at 3500hrs
Much more stable for loading bulkers, more comfort and grip well enough for the limited field work we do
Would probably stick to open treads if plugging through mud is a regular use

Anyone used these on a silage clamp?

My worry would be not enough grip to climb.

You might want to check the price before getting too excited on bibloads. They’ve nearly doubled in price last few years.
Have set of vredestein endurions on a 536 and haven’t found them wanting for grip off road. Nice stable tyre for loader work.

The only time any tyres I have “self clean” is when I’m in the concrete yard or machinery shed and with every move they self clean on my clean yard!! I think that’s just a marketing buzz word but has little if any provenance!

Can’t say I’ve done that but I have shifted straw in November after 100mm of rain ok off a field edge.
