Balancing Front Tires?

[Woodsman30350]

I have a Montana 3040 with Industrial tires. I just replaced the front tires and was wondering if one needs to balance tractor tires as you would an automobile?

I've never seen a wheel weight on a tractor......

I should probably clarify as I know someone will correct me..... :mur:
balancing wheel weights.....

Traction wheel weights used to be common place, but not so much any more
:drink:

How fast you gonna drive this thing?

I dont imagine tractors go fast enough that balance would be an issue.

I'm just gonna say no, and leave it at that.

Not enough speed to matter. Plus the tires would require so much weight they'd have a hard time doing it. The tires simply aren't built or designed with roundness and evenness as a high priority. Tractor tires are designed with big lugs, weight and durability in mind.

That is what I thought but I replaced the Titan Industrials on my Montana 3040 and they vibrate a little whereas the original tires did not when the tractor is in 4th gear on pavement.

Maybe check the front end parts
If you have worn out a set of tires you may have some worn parts now

It's likely the lugs and not the balance.
