Sweet looking machine there!!

You'll want to swap those rear tires (side to side) if you want to put chains on them.

Why is that?

Why is that?

I'm guessing that there's a clearance issue between the tire and fender if you don't.

Yep, that's it...

Just got my chains. Tirechains.com said you want about 2.5" clearance. That's about 3 finger's width. Looking at the third pic (from the rear), I'd say you don't have near 2.5".
Had to turn mine around. Turfs can be turned around since they're bidirectional...ags and industrials (like you have) are unidirectional so they have to be swapped side to side.

Those tires are heavy (especially if they're filled), so have help!

I am thinking about replacing my Case with that model with a cab; nice tractor. Having trouble deciding on the bucket size among other things.

I have a cutter just like yours, nice.

Thanks for the kind words. I spent a LONG time deciding exactly what I wanted. I have about 25 hours on it now. Been taking locust trees out of my pasture and am very happy I went with a bigger-than-originally-planned tractor. HP wise, I have plenty. Those R4s don't grab enought to tax the engine, however the physical size and FEL abilities is giving me what I need. Man I love this thing!

Thats a sweet looking tractor you got there:thumbsup: Just out of curiosity What size tires are those R4's? Is that the standard on the M8540?
