When the tube was installed in the tire did they remove the previous plug repair and use a boot to seal were the old hole was after removing the plug.

That I don't know. I would have to ask.

Thanks. I didn't think it was an issue.. I just hadn't seen any mentions in the past or in other postings.

They used to all have tubes. By not selling tubes they are saving several hundred dollars a tractor.

. . .

I've had not issues with the tubing of the tire since and I have loaded about 35 round bales and other items in the last week.

The tube certainly solved your immediate problem, the flat tire.

I just find it curious that they needed a tube to seal a pinhole leak.

For one plug?

R1/Ag Tires are almost always 4-ply tires. The flexibility of 4-ply construction adds to tractor traction.

R4/Industrial Tires are almost always at least 6-ply tires. If you buy a premium price tractor front R4/industrial tires are pretty often 10-ply tires from factory.
R4/Industrial tires are much tougher than R1/Ag Tires.
R4/Industrial tires provide less tractor traction than R1/Ag Tires.

Do you check your tire inflation with an air gauge, monthly? All four tires?
And there you have it, latest information on whether tires should be tubed or not. 🚀

I'd just cut it off smooth with the tire.
