This item weighs 500 lbs and is 5ft x 5ft. It chews up and spits out the toughest weeds leaving my 5 acres look groomed. BUT! It makes sense for this mower to have solid rubber tires. Face it, a trail mower must be tough, and this one certainly is, but when on my initial mow of 5 acres one tubeless tire got punctured and the other developed a slow leak, my solution was to have the tires foamed at a cost of $28 a tire so I will never again have to worry about goat heads, wire, nails or anything else puncturing my tires. So far I have only used it to mow once and got 80% of the job done before the flats, but NO MORE PROBLEM now that I have solid rubber tires.
