Jinman, one quick question. I just bought a used (like new) Kubota 3010 in Florida. When I checked the tire pressures the Left rear has water up to the 10 o'clock/2 o'clock level. the Right has no water. I'm taking this tractor to Virginia (freeze) Am I best advised to remove water from the left or add antifreeze to it and water the right as well? AND...that seems like too much water to me...?? I WILL be relocating the wheel plates to widen the stance.....it's hilly up there. thanks
You are getting great advice here. I appreciate your asking me specifically, but shaley and soundguy have covered most all of the bases. I'd only add that you need to make sure the rim is covered when adding water and anti-freeze. By putting the valve stem at the top as shaley suggested, and checking for fluid, you can tell that the tire is full to the proper level. If you don't have anti-freeze in there, of course you will have to let some out. If you are sure it is just water in the tire, it might be easier to drain all the water you can get out and refill with air. Getting absolutely all the water out is nearly impossible without breaking down the tire, so adding RV anti-freeze is the best choice. If you are certain the other tire is empty, I'd plan on filling both. I think the tractor might be really squirrely with all that weight on one side and none on the other. No telling what it might do with a loader bucket full of dirt.
