Tires B7100 (and others) front turf tires, 20.5x8-10

[jas67]

I have been informed by several tire vendors that this is a Kubota-special size for turf tires. It is a common trailer tire size (which would be fine for 2WD, I guess), but I have 4WD, and use it.

I need to get tires for my B7100, and have found a set of rears, but can't find fronts, other than Kubota, who is extremely proud of theirs ($180 ea!).

Any ideas where I can get them?

I also need a pair of front wheels (although, I can probably use trailer wheels) as I'm switching from ag-tire sized wheels.

Thanks,

A Goodyear Dealer supplied my front turfs.

Do you have a model/product name?

Are they tractor/turf tires, or trailer tires.

It seems that 20.5x8-10 is a common trailer tire size, where 20.0x8-10 is a common turf tractor tire size. The trailer tires that I've seen in this size look like they'd be OK for mowing, but now for any application where you need your 4WD.

Those of us with 4WD need to have the proper 20.5" tire, as the 20.0 tire would be too small, and cause a mismatch in 4WD travel speeds, putting undue stress on the drivetrain.

The Firestone Field & Turf 21x8-10 is a direct replacement for the 20.5x8-10. If you check the specs you will see that the diameter of the tire is indeed 20.5". I have seen them listed for around $70/tire.

Most trailer tires you find in this size don't have much of a tread and would render the 4wd pretty much useless.

 

[jas67]

Yes, I know that the trailer tires would render the 4WD useless.

Do you know where I can buy these 21x8-10 Field & Turfs?

Thanks,

Any Firestone dealer that sells AG tires should be able to order them.
