Wheel & Tire Options - B3350 ROPS

[fossenbeck]

My B3350 has the R4 tire option required for a mowing deck when turf tires are not desired. Because these 23 x 8.50-14 tires burrow in soft soil and mud, I am in search of a wider front tire and wheel combination with the same diameter. Anybody out there have experience with this?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I have the same thing on my B3030 and the tractor isn't designed to
have wider tires put on the front end. The wider tire would have to be
on a rim that kicks it out wider in order for the steering etc to clear,
and that changes the fulcrum point putting to much stress load on the
front end parts. It would put more stress on everything and unfortunately
all those parts are very expensive and a pita to change too. I sure thought
long and hard about the same thing thinking a 10 or 12 inch wide tire
would fit my needs much better too.
So you're stuck with figuring out a different approach to do what needs to be
done or getting a different tractor to fit your needs better unfortunately.
