My point was, if the primary use of tractor is attachments on the 3-point hitch, than yes, R-1 tires, due to the width, allow for the most adjustment of the attachments. If buying a new tractor I would like to know this, so I can make an informed decision. If your doing more fel work then, yes...

As I said previously, last set of Trygg fit perfectly, and adjusted down as tires wore down. Trygg website specific to studded chains states “TRYGG SMT Flexi these chains are made to fit unique tire sizes and no extra adjustments should be necessary on new tires.”

Still need a supplier of quality tracha yes great salesman and dealer. I’ll get Trygg Chains from Norway again, if necessary. Still hopeful for a supplier , that can deliver what they advertise!

The size ordered was for a 11.2/24 tire, what I received was 12”/14”” to long, and also to wide so they would beat on the rims.

If I had bought used chains, I’d have expected to modify them. I bought new, with a reasonable expectation they would fit as advertised.

Nice tractor 😁 May first want to mulch up leaves with roatry cutter, then wet down or rain day, may help push, pull, carry with FEL and box blade. Railway ties could pose a problem, leaching of chemicals, not sure it’s an issue for you. I just have a large compost pile that I turn with tractor...

Backstory : I had a set of Trygg Ice-chains on my L3800 for 13 years, and let them go with the tractor when I sold it. Mistake #1 Once I got my tire ordeal sorted, for my new L2501, I ordered set of ice-chains, from my dealers supplier Walco “Twinway 6 studded chains”. Upon inspection, they...

I don’t currently own any implements that attach to a drawbar, nor do I own a drawbar. My implements attach to the sway bars, on 3-point hitch, with the R-14 tires, these sway bars had to centered or very close, otherwise the tensioning turnbuckle would rub on the tires and not allow to offset...

Knew I preferred Ag Tires for a good reason!

I keep a load of 3/4 clear stone, spread with bucket. A pile of sand freezes like concrete.

Tried putting on my new chains!! They appear to be to long, overlap by 12”. They came from Walco , Twinway 6. Got my salesman on it. Anyone out there have an L Seriers (R-1 tires) with Walco’s chains?

Lot more snow then we have💦

R-1’s great in snow and slush. You wants Ice Chains when you get ‘glare ice’, with sloped/hilly roads. I run chains all winter, they’ve saved me more than once, and also allow me to work road during ice conditions, spread material for traction.

My mistake, glad to be corrected 🤔

Replacement tire is wider, not a smaller or larger dimension that would impact the ‘ratio’, so I’d say you have no issue.
