Thanks to everybody for the useful answers ! I will check it very well before replacing the wheels !

Hello, I have a Kubota L1-24DT. The dimensions of the tires are front 7-16 and rear 11,2-24. Can I replace those tires by 9,5-16 and 13,6-28 ? What will be the consequences : speed, plough, ... Thanks Luc

Thanks everybody ! I am sure I will keep the 7-16 in the future ... Kind regards Luc

Hello, Thanks for the clear explanation. I found on the internet a numeric illustration of your theory. For BKT tires 7-16, 8-16 and 9,5-16 the rolling circumferences are (sorry : in mm) 2217, 2360 and 2542. So the difference between 9,5-16 and my present tires 7-16 is 325 mm or about 12,8 inch...

Thanks a lot for the information !

Thanks. There only the indication 7R16 or 8R16 or 9,5R16 but no number for the aspect.

Thanks, I will try to find out if there is any difference in the height of the sidewall.

If on all wheels it is R16 I think that the rolling circumference is the same for those wheels ?

Hello, The dimensions of the front wheels of my Kubota L1-24 (4WD) are 7R16. Can I replace those wheels by 8R16 or by 9,5R16 whithout any risk ? Thanks LUCWEG

Hello Jack, I have found a very good article on that topic : http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/viscosity-charts/ and then click on the left panel : Motor University. Most of the damage on the engine happens when it is cold because no oil has the good viscosity at that time (10cs). So you can...

Hello Jack, I have found a very good article on that topic : http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/viscosity-charts/. Most of the damage on the engine happens when it is cold because no oil has the good viscosity at that time (10cs). So you can certainly use a 5W-40 but at the same temperature the...

Hello, I am the happy owner of a Kubota L2201DT. I plan to change the cranck case oil and therefore I have located the 3 drain plugs. I also found where to take out the filter for cleaning. For the front axle gear case it is clear also. For the front axle differential case I have located two...

Hey Clay45, I think GL5-85W-140 is of a higher quality than the GL4 80W-90 and it also is better at higher temperatures. But if I am well informed one has to be carefull on old machines like mine (1970-1980) in order to protect the cupper inside the transmission system, so therefore I have...
