If my memory is correct my 2006 JD 4320 ag tires rear call out is the 13.6 X 28. with a 8 on 8 BC with 6" dia hub. I will go up to my building tomorrow to check it out, it's getting late The JD dealer could look up that tire and rim combo for you. Your rear turf tires are the same as i have but i also have the R4 industrial bar tires. The ag wheel should be the adjustable one so it should fit your tractor. My 4320 is a cousin to your 1070. Some interim models were the 4000, 4000 tens series then the 4000 20 series, I thinkl.

You might be on to something there. Can anyone that knows much about tires tell me what this thread means

I am thinking that maybe I could get read wheels from a 4005 or a 990. I know my rear wheel has the 8 bolt spacing but I didn't measure the center width. Sorry to be a pain. I just don't understand the difference in tires but do know that I need to keep ratios the same for my 4wd.

I would be really happy with r4 tires. Anything would be better on my hills and mud than the turfs on it now. I am just hoping to be able to find wheels that will fit that I can buy tires to mount on to serve my needs. Keep the help and directions coming

Ok I think I found some rear wheels that will work on a standard 8 on 8 bolt pattern with 6" hole. Now I just need some
Front wheels. Going from the previous practice post it states a metric pattern for the fronts. I've measured mine but just with a tape measure. Does anyone know if these will fit?

Sorry for all the hassle. I am hoping someone would know or has tried them. I am a lot closer to getting this done. Just a lot of headache and is going to be a lot of money

I don think so. They will fit my tractor a JD4320 6 on 6 with a 4.62 bore.

Contact Tucker Tire in Dyersburg, TN. Got my R1 tire/wheel set for my 4300 from them. It looked like they welded the bolt circle plate into the rear rim centers to get correct pattern. There is a world of difference between R1 and R4 in wet/mud and on hillsides.

If you have your rear tires figured out then all you need are the fronts. The post from "Radius118" seems to have figured out the front tire spec. Here is a copy from his post about the front tires having a metric bolt pattern and hub dia. "The wheels for these axles use a metric bolt pattern - 150mm (5.906") bolt pattern with a 90mm (3.564") center bore." You should be able to measure your front hubs and confirm these sizes. Then ZZVYB6 got you the tire size, "4WD: front 8-16
rear 13.6-28" . Therefore you should be able locate the correct front wheels. Later

Guys I bought a John Deere 1070 just last week that has turf tires on it. It is a 4wd model with a loader bucket. I didn't realize I would have to get new wheels as well as the tires. The problem is I am having a hard time finding wheels. Tractordata shows it calls for 13.6-28 rear ag tires. I contacted the local John deere dealer here and he said they don't show a wheel listed for that size. Can anyone point me in what I actually need to get. It also calls for front ag tires of 8-16.

The current turf tire on the rear is a 44x18.00-20. I don't know much about tires and just assumed I could get new ag tires to fit my rims. I have saw some 13.6-28 tires on rims with no center, but I don't know if I can use what I currently have to bolt it up.

Any help or direction is appreciated.

caution, Caution CAUTION !!!
It has a loader, but has turf tires and you are shopping for Ags.
Do KNOW that Ags and turfs are NOT rated for loader use, so decide if you are going to PULL with this or LIFT with it - R4s are the only tires that can do BOTH.

Well now, what a coincidence ?

I have a set of turfs in those sizes, I'll look up my owner' manual to see what Ags and Industrials were offered on that tractor.
First I'll mention that my set of turf wheels are one piece, i.e. there is no separate "center" that the rim is bolted to.

Turfs;
Front 29/12.50-15
Rear 44/18.0-20

Industrial R4s;
Front 12-16.5
Rear 17.5L-24

Ags;
Front 8-18
Rear 12.4-28

I can vouch for the turf and R4 sizes since I have both.

Now the fun part.
Not everyone knows this and many who do know don't like to admit it.
JD contracts out the building of their small tractors to such companies as Kukje in south Korea.
Some say that they don't actually contract out the building of their design, they bulk buy the builder's standard offerings and have them re-badged.
Supposedly the "difference" between some Branson models and some JD models is red vs green and yellow.
(emblem engineering)

The data I copied above is from my Century (also a re-badged Kukje) tractor manual.

Hint/clue; you could try to find your local Branson dealer, prices will likely be better than at a JD dealer.
Dealers often have "take-offs" from tractors that the buyer wanted something different on, i.e. R4s are more popular than Ags, so there could be a set or two in the back somewhere.


Curious; What size (HP, or displacement) is this tractor ?



EDIT:

Ooops, I just looked it up, seems it is a re-badged 35 HP Yanmar with some in-between sized tires/rims.

I went through this when I needed to change from turf to ag tires after I blew out a turf tire. I had bought used cheap ag tires with rusted out rims and nice heavy cast centers thinking it would be no problem getting new rims... turns out they were 24 inch double bevel, a rare bird. I found them at Miller Tire. In the end I ended up with my used ag tires, used centers but new rims. Mine was 2WD so not as complicated as 4WD. When buying used tractors, tires are one thing I will never overlook again.
