Front tires for 2019 bx1880

[hetzer]

Howdy, I am trying to find replacement tires for my 2019 bx1880. I was told that Kubota doesn't make them anymore. I tried Amazon and I can only find 8.5 as opposed to the 7.5's that are on it now. Any help would be appreciated. Can I just buy new 8.5's tires and wheels and put them on without replacing the rears? Would that mess up the 4 wheel drive system? Thanks

Never heard of Kubota discontinuing wheels on a tractor they still sell. I would call a different dealer. Do you use a mid mower? Reason I am asking is tires from the 23S work great on my 1880. Wanted R4 tires and this was the only option. Gives about a 2-3 inch lift. I haven’t tried the larger tires with my mid mower attached yet but plan to try next month. I switch out the tires for winter duties. Crawl under your tractor and look at the rear axle tag. Will show 23S. If the larger tires work with the mid mower, plan on keeping the larger tires on. Someone else posted the larger tires will rub on the deck. I’ll find out next month.

Was at the dealer today so asked about the front tire on the BX1880. They still make them for sale. When I got my replacement a few years back after puncturing a hole in it, it was cheaper to buy the tire and rim than just the tire. Either go to a different dealer or ask about both tire and rim.
