Ordered M7060 with R 14 tires, Rops and loader,12 speed

[blaylockvol]

Dealer said should be here in 2/3 weeks, does anyone know of someone who has those tires on a M7060 or larger tractor? I have owned 2 kubotas previously, 26hp and 47hp, never had any problems. I retired last year and plan to use it to bush hog and use an 8 ft grooming mower on my 55 acre goat farm. O by the way, my first post!

I will be interested in hearing how you like the R14 tires. The tires look like they will be nice, but just haven't seen any actually in the wild be used.

There is a recent post where a fellow just got a 50hp RK with R 14 tires. He liked the look of the tires but just got the new tractor. So no evaluation yet.

The county has started using R-14s on their boom mowing tractors within the past year.

These tractors are of similar size to your 7060 though painted green.

I'm also curious about the real world performance of these R14 tires but I keep thinking in my head, they really look a lot like the Nokian winter tires we have up here that most snow removal contractors run on their tractors. I'm guessing the compound is different (softer on the Nokians ) for traction . It will be interesting to hear as more people get them dirty and get a feel for them.

Guys, As soon as the dealer delivers the tractor and I have a couple of days to check it and the tires out, I will give a fair and balanced update! Dealer told me last, it was being assembled in Georgia this week and shipped next week, so we will see.

make sure to get some mud on the tires

I will give you a bit of advice based on experience. Have your dealer dyno test the tractor while measuring fuel supply pressure to the fuel filter, before testing ask for the manufacturer's fuel pressure spec. Unless they have made a correction based on my case, fuel system damage will occur under load.

I believe I've got the R14 filled with water and antifreeze. Mine are the tall radials rather than new low profile. They will stretch a little and soften up with miles. When I first got them on the road at high speed 25mph I would get a rocking horse action, which went away after I got about 30 miles on them. Work well in the clay, they don't load up, flex enough to throw the mud out. How tuff time will tell. They are made by Yokohama
