It's an interesting question.

I originally wanted turf tires so I wouldn't destroy my yard -- but so far I haven't damaged much. The turf tires are supposed to be much better in the snow, however. The R4's that I have, I believe, are steel belted so they don't puncture as easily. May be an option for you, K, but I know that would be expensive. 

The Googles answered for you. Foam filled fronts would work just fine. Looks like popping the beads on front tires with a lot of loader work is common for any type of equipment.

Interesting, I have been thinking of just tubing them as well and I see that is a viable option from those threads, thanks pork

Well finally was able to get ahold of the dealer, he said when using the bucket to over inflate the tires to keep the beads from popping and then just deflate them for mowing. The best bet he said was to just put tubes in them, so looks like I'm getting tubes

Transformed into lawn mowing mode. The loader was surprisingly easy to take off and put on.
