- Previously: Kubota B2710. Now Deere 3520
I was looking at the specs on the Grand L's, and Kubota has min. ground clearance listed as 14".
Clearly that can't be the clearance of the front axle when you have 27" or 29" diameter turf tires on. So are they measuring the ground clearance at the center line of the tractor, or at the front axle with Ag tires?
Just looking at the R4's versus the Turfs, the R4's are 60" in diameter, and the largest turf tires are only 44" in diameter. So do you lose 8" of that ground clearance if you buy turf tires and wind up with only 6" of ground clearance?
It makes me wonder why they don't use larger diameter turf tires?
