Multiple sets of tires

[Ryansweatt2004]

Tread direction has no effect on axle wear. Flipping the rims side to side tiff set the wheels would have an effect on the wear and tear of the front axle. That said I think flipping the tread pattern backwards looks ridiculous but that's just me.

yes it will look kind of goofy but it won't tear up the yard and a whole lot cheaper than new wheels and tires as far as the axle wear its no different than having adjustable rims set to the widest position

I bought my b2620 with r4 since I was using it in the woods mainly and wanted the toughest tires I could get.
Last year I found a set of turfs on CL for a great price after looking for a while.
Best thing I ever did, turf damage is minimal, both sets of rear tires are filled and switching them out isn't bad.
I've been doing a lot of landscape work the last couple years and now I don't feel afraid to take the tractor out on people's lawns.

Call your kubota salesman and get a price on turfs through the wholegoods catalogue. I believe a full set of wheels and tires was about 1300 a couple years ago.

My brother has a L3540 and bought 2 sets of tires and wheels when he got the tractor. For a rather small investment in money and work, it is like having 2 tractors in one.

As an alternative, use worn ag tyres on the front, when on the lawn or delicate areas. I drive for an ag contractor doing baled silage. Stacking 1 ton bales , worn (1/2" or less) front tyres do very little damage to the grass so should work for you.

how will it ruin front axle, no different than widening the stance of the tractor

And having rims turned around so they dish out more if the offset was on the inside is harder on the bearings and axle and untimely the gears of the front knuckles on 4wd

my rear rice tires will tear up a yard just mowing.
