ford 1710

[bud ford]

I intend to install r4 tires and wheels on my 1710 4wd tractor. In order to accomplish this, I need to know the actual height of the factory installed turf tires, both front and rear. Could someone please measure their's for me. Proper replacement size is important for correct lead and lag. HELP.

Front turfs for a 4wd 1710 were 27-8.50x15 tires.
Rear turfs for a 1710 were 13.6x16.
You can go to most tire manufacturer's websites and find dimensional data for any tire they offer. Firestone and Titan have sites that are fairly easy to navigate. It shouldn't take long to find R-4 sizes to match up. Finding the correct (rear) rims will be your biggest challenge. If you come up with dimensions that you can have confidence in, Unverferth will build custom rims. But your specs need to be correct; they build to them, and don't want to hear it if their work matches the spec but doesn't fit the machine. You have to go through one of their dealers, but there are many out there.

Thank's Rick, already been to titan's website .They list different demensions for the same tire. What I need is for someone with a low hours 1710, with factory tires, to take a tape measure and measure the tire heights. With this information I can do the math and come up with the appropiate size tires. Thank's

Just curious why wouldn't you just go with the factory sizes that were oem?

There were no R4 tires and wheels available on 1710 model tractors. Thank's

Bud, What is the differance between R3 and R4 turf tires? My accessory pamplet shows R3 tires for 1710: Front 4x4 = 27x8.50-15 2Ply tubeless, Rear = 13.6x16,R3 *All tires bias ply with 4 ply rating unless noted, front and rear turf tires must be used in combination only.

R4 is not turf, R4 is industrial tread. All I need is an accurate measurment (height) of the turf tires. With those measurments, I can do the math, ANd solve the problem, and complete this project. Thank's .

Budford,

I got turf on my 1700. I'm not sure if they are exact same size on 1710. They eyeball about the same. I can measure my rear tire when I'm there at my place.

jc-jetro. If your tractor is a four wheel drive. I sure would appreciate it. Thank's, bud ford.

Sorry bud, as my avatar indicates I've got rear wheel drive. Even in two wheel drive the rear and front tire circumference might be right.

JC,

Why not just look at what NH is now putting on for industrials (R4s) on the TC-30? Same tractor for the most part. As other's have noted though, you'll have to change the rims.

I have a spare set of 13.6x16 wheels and tires (R3 turf) for sale if you still need them?Came off of a 1700 2wd, but is the same part # as my 1710 2wd.

I would like to replace the turf tires on my 1710 ford tractor with regular ag tires. What should I do?

 

[dboacres]

Measure the diameter of the tires that you have on there now and put turf tires on with same diameter. If you plan on driving around in 4 WD all the time, then that is wrong thing to be doing. As you turn the fromt end you will be getting a different tire ratio all the time.

You need to find a manual that list the correct tire size to keep the front to rear ration within spec.

You will need new wheels too because they are narrower.
