I have read through the posts and been looking for what options there are for replacing the 20.5x8-10 front turf tires on my b1550hst-d. It is 4wd. The rear tires are 31x15.5-15 bar style turf so they have some traction. The fronts however are not aggressive what's so ever. Wondering what size r1 or r4 tires will work with the rears I have. I know if I switch to the r1 ag tires I will need different front wheels I just dont want to mess up the transmission and really dont want to buy new rears since they have some life left in them. I have contacted the kubota dealer but they keep telling me they will look into it for me and get back to me but they dont. I guess it's to much work to do for a sale of 2 tires and rims. So I'm looking to you guys for help. Thanks

Those are exactly what I'm looking for but I have scoured the net and havnt seen them. Did you find them online or from a tractor dealer?Hi Ryan - there are quite a few threads on this topic. You can get Kenda K378 Ag tread tires to fit your turf rims in the right size. Here is a photo of my old and new fronts.
Are those 20.0x8-10 or 20.5x8-10?Hi Ryan - there are quite a few threads on this topic. You can get Kenda K378 Ag tread tires to fit your turf rims in the right size. Here is a photo of my old and new fronts.
Hi Ryan,
I just realized you asked the same question in an earlier post - I put the link to where I got mine in that answer.

I can assure you that I stressed and over researched the issue before ordering these tires. I have the same stock turf size and same loader you do and they have been great for over two years and over 200 hours of use as well.

Thank you very much for the info. There decent priced also which is great!!! Have you noticed if they wear good for being a lower priced tire?
I just snapped a few photos of the current state. I park on cement but really only use them on dirt or gravel. The hardest use is pulling the box blade or subsoiler. FEL has been fine moving gravel, dirt, Adobe etc...
