Are the rear tires tubed?

Recently purchased a 2023 l4060 and wanting to get the tires loaded. Do they put tubes in the rear tires from the factory? The valve stem looks like its for a tube. The places that fills the tires was wanting to know.

There should not be tubes front or rear. My filled rears do not have tubes either. IMHO, unless there is some specific problem to be overcome with tubes, they should be avoided.

Unlikely to have a tube since it is a new machine. A quick check on the Messicks web site does not even list a part for a rear wheel tube. Your dealer would know if they have tubes from the factory and they can also load the rear tires for you.

I've one dealer that routinely tubed fronts, rarely rears.
But if I had a good carcass except for some patches a $100 tube might make monetary sense.

The dealer i bought it from doesn't load them. Only one dealer near me does. Found another place thats just a tire center.

If they know what they are doing they do not need to have you answer that question.

By the way, where are you? It is helpful discussing each other's problems and questions when we know where you are. Some listeners may be close to you or be aware of regional circumstances. Just a good idea when you have time to update your info block that we all see to the left of your posts.

Dealer I do business you have to request tubs and cost dollars from start to finish,

My M6040 came with no tubes and RimGuard in the rear tires. I would only tube if there was some functional necessity.

Ended up loading them myself. Bought two Y garden hose shut off valves, a harbor freight 120v transfer pump, and a $99 55 gallon drum of undiluted -22 washer fluid. Took about an hour total to fill both tires. Huge difference.
