Innovation Description and Benefit:
The Schulte mowers now use heavy-duty skid steer wheel centers paired with hard rubber Never Flat tires, eliminating downtime from flats and reducing costs. Compared to the original dealer option at $1,200, the new tire and wheel assembly costs $585.17, with no need for foam filling. These tires are safer to handle—225 pounds versus 400 for foam-filled—and maintain performance without flats, improving efficiency and operator safety.
