Tires 2520 Front Tires Rubbing

[AKKubota]

Those are tire chains look quite nice and appear to be the same type I had on my Kubota. I did buy chains yesterday - front and rear. The dealer removed the front wheel spacers and told me they won't work with my rim/tire size.

I bought some small 2 link garden tractor chains for the front that don't come down too far on the sidewall. They look like they'll be fine. I got some very robust chains for the rear.

Dealer also put the new lift arms on my 3-point with very little discussion.

Good news.. glad to hear that you worked out a solution for the chain issue.

And really good news on the 3pt replacement -- Craig Taylor comes thru!!

I purchased the JD front wheel spacers anticipating the need for the room to fit front chains on this winter. Now, when I turn my wheel the tires rub on the FEL mount.

Dealer says to remove the spacers and don't run chains on the front. I need 4x4 chains.

Will the JD factory chains work W/O the spacer? Or does someone else have a recommendation?

thx

I've got the same issue and I'm keeping the spacers due to the incline in my yard. You can easily take your front tires to a local tire shop and have them siped. That's just cutting extra edges into the current treads. That helps a little. You can also screw these studs into your tires but that may exacerbate the rubbing problem. Maybe just do the rears and sipe the front. Better yet just get a set of turf tires for the front when you're on snow.
