wider front tires

corelokt308win · 09-26-2007, 08:58 PM

I'd like to somehow rig wider front tires on my little Iseki TL2100 four wheel drive. The tires are always getting me stuck due to the loader weight. Are there wider rims with similar diameter, or could these be widened?

What ever you do match the tire diameter for the use. It is very imortant to match the tires as I've seen the drive shaft spitting out within four hours of operation! That's not cheap for any one!

What kind of weight do you have on the rear to offset what your picking up on the front? Might just need to load your rear tires or attach an implement, or both.

Always ensure you have adequate inflation in those front tires...that may be your problem.
And, maybe your fronts need replacing...might not have enough tread left on them.

I'm supposing this is the tractor your talking about.

Looks like you have it rigged nice. Have you thought about adding chains to the front? How about a pic of area where your getting stuck. Is it in a particular spot every time, or at various spots around your property?

I widened a pair of rims, not too hard to do. I put some pics up while I doing it on another forum

Can you repost the pics here? It wouldn't let me see them without being a member/signing in or some such message.

You'll have to look at the other site for the descriptions of the pictures

As mentioned Chains.

The tires are new, 6 ply's. The rears are loaded with calcium in tubes. The fronts are sinking into a bog area that crosses most of my land. Once you go through the top most layer, it's pure mud about 4 feet deep. Wider fronts would help float the weight of the loader.
