A blast from the past for sure and Olson Tire hasn't retreaded tractor tires since shortly after that 1993 ad/article was placed. It certainly was a great idea that John Olson came up with and built most of the equipment to be able to do it in his shop. Sadly tho they were only able to retread...

Agree totally but what he's saying is that like everything it's easier said than done. That in itself won't solve the problem but what he's explained especially about how that addiction most young have to their cell phones with the dopamine etc hits home. It was a WOW moment for me being a...

Bob, I'm with you and have made the suggestions to a couple different manufacturers to make their different treads and sizes uniform in rolling circumference for the 3 types of tread. R1 Ag R4 Industrial and R3 Turfs exactly the same and if they were the OE supplier too they'd own the majority...

I use my front snowblower with a pipe on the cutting edge along with the factory shoes to keep it from gouging in and skinning up the yard. I use a 5 foot box blade with a pipe attached between the front and rear blades to again be able to move snow without gouging the yard up. I bought a piece...

Not a guru but more than plenty of experience in figuring it out. First off we need to know what size tires you have now including brand in order to get the rolling circumference specs to figure what ratio you have. Once that's figured and you know what size tires and rims you'd need to buy...

So then understanding it and apply that knowledge means you probably now know that if you change the fronts on your 4WD to a larger diameter you're also going to put larger tires on the rear to keep the ratio the same too. Al

Barncat, try warming them up with a small propane torch some then give them a couple of good soaking's using P Blaster or another good one is Break Away. If you don't have either beez wax works great too once the lug nuts are warmed up just let it melt in much like sweat soldering a copper pipe...

Wouldn't have a clue without seeing it and apparently with whatever type of valve that's on is on it makes it difficult for the tire tech to tell. I'd assume it has a TR218A valve which is common on rear tractor tire tubes to make ballast filling it easier with less hassle. That valve is also...

The Bridgestone tires have been discontinued for many many years now. You can buy the Firestone Turf & Field or the Carlisle Turf Pro at half the price of the Firestone's and both of these are within tolerance size wise for 4 wheel drive tractors. Al

It's been my experience that the dealer is about the only option to get wheels because Kubota uses metric bolt patterns and a different offset for every tractor model they make. Unless you find an aftermarket supplier that builds them special order such as Wold in Iowa ( I think that's where...

The size and type of tires you have now would be needed for someone to know what size tires would replace them. Just an FYI. Al

This question is best asked in the tire and wheel section and you need to also put in what size tires and type ( R1 R4 R3 (R3 is turf)) and the brand too if at all possible so someone can find the rolling circumference of the tires to do the math from. To figure the ratio front to rear divide...

If the dealership does swap the lemon out for the 2650 as this says that is about as awesome as a dealer can get in trying to take care of you as a customer. I've got a B3030 that should last as long as I do with what I've seen with Kubota's others have. A friend of mine bought a 2650 to avoid...

I prefer the Carlisle and if you're lucky the one's you get may even be built in the USA. Carlisle has the most years building lawn and garden tires and I've seen a whole bunch of them 30 plus years old. From what I've seen over the years they are the best at compounding their tires to last the...

Please let us know how they worked out down the road and actually sooner let us know whether or not you've had any binding problems with the possibility that Wolfman had brought up. The width difference axle load wise won't show up right away IF there is any issue with it all being a wider...

This kind of blows me away, Service Dept Vic in Canada has a "sticky" post on the top saying "now in stock 205-800-10 tires". It's the very first thing that anyone sees when they come into this section of the forum!!! WTH? Okay enough on that. First off the rolling circumference of the...

I'm not a rookie with tractors and PTO powered implements and I would never dream of engaging one at anything except low idle. To me it sounds like there's a "miss print" in the operations manual as anything more than idle puts a massive ( insane! ) shock load on the PTO. Either way regardless...

Wouldn't have a clue where to start until we knew that sizes front and rear and the brand would be very helpful to in order to find out what the rolling circumference of each tire is to be able to determine the front to rear "ratio". The load carrying capacity is also needs to be know, just...

Been there done that and do everything I can to avoid doing it again! I have a suggestion for those banks that are so steep and you have a problem with poisonous snakes: Round up!!! Then 2nd would be shotgun as I'm sure they would be much harder to see in the dead grass and weeds. Hell, if I...

Sorry I forgot to write that the 24's on the front are the correct original size tires for for your tractor the book isn't always correct or never corrected if miss printed.
