  • I have a L4240 HST with LA854 loader. Kubota put 10x16.5 NHS tires on front, but with this big loader, the 10" wide tires are just plain wimpy. I want to put 12x16.5 NHS tires on the front but that increases the diameter from ~31" to ~33". Is there a way other than switching the front axel hydraulics to synchronize the larger tires with the rear tires when in 4wd?

    You can safely push the back rims out 6" on the rears, the bearings and axles are designed for that.
    You can't change the front ratio there are not parts available to do that.

    Thank you, I have not figured out how this site works yet. After you said I could push the rims out it occurred to me that I think I have seen tractors with wheels where the rim center disk could be reversed to change the tread width. My wheels are welded. But I still have not found the wheel for a bigger tire and my dealer does not have the patience to look thru Kubota parts list to find a compatible wheel. So, your help has given me another avenue. I'm going to take your information and find any other tire sizes (that any mfg makes) that have the proper rolling circumference. Then go to my dealer and ask which Kubotas use that or those tire sizes. Hopefully the dealer can look up tires and cross reference someway to a Kubota model. Maybe that may lead to a compatible wheel (with removable center disk or some offset) for my rear axle. I think you have been more help than a pile of commentors. Thanks again. I'll let you know in a few weeks what I have found.
