The dealer was telling me Kubota is pushing hard to eliminate loaded tires in all sizes of tractors, he didn't know why and says they still load tires as they would lose customers.
The fall flyer is giving weight boxes away with loader purchases with a slogan saying loaded tires are not the best solution.
So why don't they say why they aren't the best solution?
So far I've come up with my own list of comments:
Weight box stresses the frame/castings more than loaded tires.
Weight box can be removed when loader is off to better adapt the tractor.
Loaded tires are always available for use.
Loaded tires increase traction even when a rear implement is in use.
Weight box takes weight off front axle while loaded tires don't.
