    New L2501 Delivere W/R14 instead R4 Tires?

    I have noticed the same bounce you are talking about although these are not filled yet. I have slopes and they all lead to a pond eventually. I really don’t have a very flat spot on my 10 acres. I like the theory of the R14, but my gut is telling me the R4 is what I need. Can you tell me which...

    New L2501 Delivere W/R14 instead R4 Tires?

    The R14 have a load capacity of 4080. I am not positive on the size R4 required on my tractor, but I have seen data indicating maybe 5000+ load capacity. Seems like the R14 may be a little light on the capacity to use max loader capacity or am I not understanding this correctly? Thanks.

    How are they working out for you doing loader work? Are they easy on your lawn when mowing? Thanks for your input.

    New L2501 Delivere W/R14 instead R4 Tires?

    Thanks for the post. I have watched these videos before and they didn’t convince me the R14 is better than the R4 except possibly in hard surface situations which I don’t get into very often and possibly muddy situations which I also don’t have much of unless I’m tearing up the property. I have...

    New L2501 Delivere W/R14 instead R4 Tires?

    I think we have the same thoughts on this matter. All of this has been going through my mind. I like the idea of being able to use the R14 in the mud and snow if I had to, but there doesn’t seem to be much there to wear out and they definitely bounce. So much so that I changed gears and idled...

    New L2501 Delivere W/R14 instead R4 Tires?

    It has been off and on rain for the last couple days and I finally had a few minutes before dark to take the tractor for a run around the property and see how the tires may perform as well as the tractor. With no ballast in the tires, it is a bouncy ride with a tiller on the back and a LandPride...

    Thanks for your input. What factors helped you decide the R4’s were actually right for you instead of the R14?

    Do you see any issues with tearing up the yard any with the R14’s? I want to try to keep the minimal as well. Thanks.

    New L2501 Delivere W/R14 instead R4 Tires?

    Thank you for your input. The tractor is definitely going back to the dealer to get the tires filled. Do you notice any abrasions, gouges or slices in the tires from sticks, thorns or other sharp objects? That is one fear I have with the R14 tires having more exposure for punctures than the R4...

    New L2501 Delivere W/R14 instead R4 Tires?

    Thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate it. The tractor is definitely going back to the shop to have the fluid added to the rears. I just thought I’d do my due diligence before they swap the tires to the R4 and I am stuck waiting during the process. I can’t say I won’t be using it in...

    Hydro-tek 3rd Function Valve on L2501

    Hey everyone. I just received my new L2501 last night and I was expecting the Kubota/LandPride 3rd function valve to be installed. It showed up with a Hydro-tek branded valve. I can’t find any information for this valve online. Does anyone have any experience with this brand? Just curious how it...
