Does Kioti make a spacer kit for rear wheels?

IslandTractor · Dec 13, 2006

I operate regularly on slopes and would love to safely widen my rear track a few inches for stability purposes. I just read on another TBN forum that the other orange tractor company sells a spacer kit at least for the B3030 to enable fitting snow chains. Has anyone found such a kit from Kioti? Is there any difference between the Kioti and Kubota wheel lug pattern/size? (i.e. could I use the Kubota kit?)

Sorry I don't have the answer, but sure would like to know the answer. Especially for a ck30. I operate on slopes as well, he11 I don't think I've got a level spot on my entire property except where the house sits.

Ditto here. I get major pucker on my LK3054 while I'm running around my fields & woods. Hope to see someone tell us "Sure . . ."

Dealers??

I believe that the Kubota is a six lug pattern at 120mm from center with a 90mm hub cut out. I cannot find on line the precise Kioti measurements but ours do also have six lugs.

In my attempts to answer the question myself I came across one ebay listing for a set of wheels that were supposed to fit both Kioti and Kubota. That ain't enough to convince me but it did remind me that Kioti (Daedong) used to manufacture some of the Kubota tractors so it would seem reasonable that Kioti might have used more than just the same paint when they developed their own models. Why would Kioti have bothered to use anything other than what Kubota had already established as a standard?

Still, I'd love confirmation before disguising myself and entering a Kubota dealership to order the spacer kit. (Or maybe I'll just pick up the phone and call Neil.

)

I have a set of wheels here that a customer brought in off of his Kioti.
They were originally on a Kubota according to the customer.
They are Turf tire wheels the same ones that fit a CK30.
Oh and no Kioti doesn't make a spacer kit.

Thanks BTI. I think that seems like enough of a confirmation the Kioti/Kubota wheels are interchangable to go ahead and order a set of Kubota spacers for my CK20. It may take a while but I will report back on my experience.

Most of the tractors that are imported, including large ones are shipped here less wheels and tires. Upon arrival at their destination, (Kioti in this case) they are married up with wheels and tires as per customer order, from US suppliers, even though that supplier may be importing too. See the link below to check out the various tires and wheels from just one manufacturer. Hope this helps.

Whoops, forgot to include the supplier. Sorry.

I did not know about this matching up of tires and tractors. Interesting. The Titan website only has tire information however, not wheel info so I cannot confirm the lug pattern or size. I think BTI's info is still likely to hold true so I may still just go on that. THanks

Be sure to let us know how you make out..... Anticipation.

Have a Merry Christmas Island, and to the rest on the kioiti forum as well.
