Hey guys I started having some issues where the front end was shaky as I was driving. There is some play in the steering mostly from steering cylinder moving within it's brackets but also the tie rods. I saw some people put shims in, but I am thinking I should just get some new brackets and...

Just another update for those curious... I can't believe still had zero issues with them. Air pressure is still great... One of those, why didn't I do that sooner!?

Just a quick reply for anyone interested... Those tires haven't given me any issue since I installed them! They have worked great and look like they will do so for some time. 1st year great! much better than factory fronts

Thanks for the input guys! Ya, I guess with the foam I thought they could deal with a sidewall issue, but that's understandable. Only thing that kind of ticks me off is I told them I had a crack/leak in sidewall when I asked about foaming them. If they would have said, oh if it's a sidewall we...

Well they said that because there was a hole in the sidewall they didn't want to foam it. Confused since I thought they drilled a hole in it to foam it. So they said I would need new tires before they foam them. These front tires are cursed! Ordered these...

https://www.amazon.com/BKT-Skid-Power-Industrial-Tire/dp/B01JUMBI22 Those look nice, are they the same dimensions as the original so I wouldn't screw up the 4wd? Where can you get rims to replace my rims? Any thoughts? Those are some awesome options! I am trying to figure out how I can get...

They are on amazon, can you send link?

Thanks guys, yes I had the backhoe on back. So there was some ballast there. Couldn't have been more than a 100lbs in bucket. I think the sidewalls are so thin and damages from cracking or thorns that when I turned tight I immediately lost my air and then pulled tire off rim. I am liking the...

Good Idea, I always thought that was hard on the machine, found this on a thread: "Tires wear increased by about double. The ride was about as bad as it could get. The added weight put extra strain on wheel bearings." "Think about it, no foam you have a cushioning effect, foam, no give so all...

I am looking to replace my OEM front R4 tires on my BX25d tractor. The tread looks brand new on my 500hr tractor, rarely run on cement, mostly weeds/grass. I have had a lot of problems with my tires, mostly the front tires. I have tried checking pressure every usage. Adding Inner-tubes which...

Thanks for the reply Armylifer, Since I have had so many problems with dirty filters and water. I am getting my diesel from a different place. They sell ag (red) diesel and it is a mix of kerosene and diesel in the winter aka "winter mix". They seem to be more finicky about it, so I am hoping...

Quick update for anyone following along. So I did a quick job to get a different primary filter. There was definitely something wrong with that filter. I pulled the hose that went from the filter to the pump and it was dripping out, pulled the filter off and it poured out. This was after it's...

Good point, makes me think I should first work on changing the primary fuel filter to a filter that has a water separator. Most often I keep the tank between 3/4 and full. I fill it up before I use it, and I rarely use it more than 1/4 of a tank at a time. I am think I will start topping it off...

Wow, that's impressive, thanks for that. I will get started on that right away. I hate using those can's to fill up my tractor. Also, I use that little filter/funnel thing and it slowly fills up to, so I have to poor really slow. It's not too bad, cause I can usually steady it on the hand grab...
