These are a bit larger than Kubota's recommendations for the 3240 at (7.2-16 / 12.4-24) but they are still smaller than my R4's (10-16.5 / 420/70-24)
Whatta ya all think? Will they work for my tractor?
Pro's, Cons?
Thanks so much,

I have a 3130 and have ags off a 3830 which are the larger size you mentioned. The clearance for the rear is a little tight and had to move them out 1 setting. They work great. Great traction in mud and snow and actually a little better floatation on turf becauce of the wider rib riding on the ground.
