Tractor tires - R4 vs R14

bobdog2o02 Did you decide on tires yet?

 

Dealer persuaded me into r4, might need chains for ice... but ill cross that bridge when i get there....

 

Calling tree killer
He found a great set for Well Seasoned

 

Always a solid choice. Hard to go wrong w/ R4 for all-around.

 

I'd suggest that you look into getting them filled.
Also possibly inquire about wheel weights and see what the max weight allowed is and if a deal is available.

 

Already getting filled.

 

You won't regret it.
In addition to traction it adds a lot to stability.

 

I think that may have been fuelrod not tree killer.

I have never been impressed with the stability or traction of my 1025 Deere with R4s that I bought new a couple years ago, I paid for filled rears at the time. I have been shopping for a bigger tractor this year partly because of this and partly because I could really use a bigger machine now that our harvest is complete and I have more access to the woods. I kind of gave up shopping for now because of lack of availability. So I decided to add some wheel spacers to help the stability issue, when I went to install the spacers I discovered that the dealer never actually filled the rears. The dealer corrected their error and I installed the spacers and it feels like a different tractor now both stability and traction.

 

Thanks for correction DaveGunter I believe you are correct

my tractor came with spacers and wheel weights so I never had them filled.
