Which tread pattern?

Dad was in the 4th Armored during WW2 driving a truck hauling prisoners back and supplies forward, he told me preventing the enemy from knowing which direction you where going the was the Armies reason for the non directional tires

Well I guess he knew more about it than I do. I spent 9 years in the USAF and never had to serve in combat. For that I am eternally grateful.....almost made it to Viet Nam for a year, my last year on that enlistment, but a 2 year extension plus that year put me in Biloxi, MS. teaching Tech School with my family along for the ride.

I have a bobcat t650 that I use around the farm. Mainly grass/mud and occasional snow.

Which tread pattern should I look at buying? Zig zag or multi bar?

A forklift is your friend for helping to install them. That enabled me to install them by myself.

Good idea! I was wondering how i was going to try to get them installed by myself. The Mrs. would rather do something else than hear the words i'll be saying when installing haha.

Working alone and at my age, I bought a 25HP compact tractor with a loader that I can't do without. It is so handy getting things where I can't and helping me do what needs to be done with a lot less trouble on my part, and success where there may have been no success. I thoroughly understand your "extra hand".
