Depends on how you turn, if you just spin around they both will. I do a 3pt turn and yes sometimes my turfs tear up grass. Just my $.02

Lloyd is right there. If I come out of a turn a little tight, and move the joystick forward quick, I can tear up the grass a little right in that spot, but I would think a bar tire would really tear up the lawn even more with the same scenario...

Dusty I put dozens of bar tires on zero turns, must not do to much damage. I don't notice a lot of damage with the regular mowers.

Dusty, you are not using that 720 for mowing? Herb(GA)

Herb, no I'm using a 61" Simplicity zero turn for mowing.

I do have a mower deck for the 720, but I don't plan on taking the loader off, so I don't see me using it, I guess I should sell that deck.

My 720 has been re-powered and it came with the original engine, don't know why it was replaced, but I'm thinking of selling it also.
