Kubota Ag Tires

[rayclar]

sorry for taking so long skyhook,, my invoice only gives me the breakdown for fronts (400) and rears( 1000) thats tires and rims. Loading was 300 with 70 labor. total bill 1770.00

The r3 and r1 rims are definitely not interchangeable??

Something is amiss there. A 4wd L4400 should have either 8x16 or 8.3x16 for the fronts. not 6x16's. That is likely the 2wd size.

You need to make sure the sizes match if 4wd, or you can damage the drivetrain.

I bought my Kubota L4400 new a couple of years ago. It is 4WD and gear. The AG Tire sizes for both the Gear Drive and the HST are as follows: Front-8.3-16 Rear 14.9-24. The tire sizes are different for Turf and Industrial tires on the L4400. Turf Tires -Front 27-10.5 Rear 44x18-20 Best wishes.

BTW, the gear drive L4400 was available in both 2WD and 4WD.

I'd try the turf tires first, then if more traction is needed, try chains.
Pick up a set of old semi truck chains, and cut to fit.
Much cheaper than new tires and wheels!
JMHO...

Good morning from the still frozen north;

Before you put chains on the turf tires, check with your dealer as to the tire rating. I remember, a few years ago, reading about turf tires being very susceptible to puncture. As was said earlier, loading your rims will help improve traction, and adding rear ballast will make traction even better.
