Anybody have experience with the R14 vs turfs on the same tractor with just air in them? Did either ride smother than the other?

My LX3310 has loaded R14s and I am wondering if getting the fluid out would improve the ride. It is very rough and ridged. I dropped the rears to 16 PSI and set the fronts to 25 PSI but no discernable change in ride quality.

I have unloaded Galaxy turfs on my JD4310 and it rides much better but it's a heavier tractor to begin with.

I had loaded turfs on my LX2610 and have loaded R14's with the present LX3310 and can't say I noticed any difference in the ride. I prefer the R14's for durability and loader work. My front R3's probably had three dozen plugs between the two of them.
