B2650 rear tires, tube or tubless?

[oosik]

If it's still OEM - then most likely tubeless.

Most everything is tubeless now..

Are the rear tires on a B2650 tubeless from the factory? I have a leaking valve stem and I was curious whether I just needed to pick up a valve stem or a whole tube.

Have you tightened it? I had a tiny bead leak and just used a gallon of Slime $20 vs the hassles of removal and reseating.

Or perhaps you are simply unwilling to accept cost savings as a manufacturer's reason for eliminating a part that is perceived by them as being unnecessary?

Enjoy your tire tubes. Just like tubeless tires, there are valid reasons to use them.
One advantage you gave up is the ability to use tire plugs on small leaks.

Bingo, again.

Punctures in air filled tubeless tires can usually be easily plugged externally.

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. Not having to remove the tire from the rim would make for an easier repair. That was never suggested for any of the flats I’ve had.

Thanks all for the replies! I'm used to working on old fords with tubed tires. This is the first issue that I've had with any of my three kubotas or really any modern equipment when it comes to dealing with tires.

Update for anybody that runs into my situation.... A b2650 does infact have tubes in the rear tires from the factory... my tractor has R1 AG tires if that makes a difference. Now here I am at 3:30pm on a Saturday with out a tube after getting the wheel off of the tractor and breaking it down.
