Tractor Tire question

Garcia · 09-13-2021, 02:37 PM

Reaching out to see if anyone has experience with tractor tires. I am waiting for my new tractor, an L seres Kubota, to arrive and am trying to decide between R4 and R14 tires. I have R4 tires on the B7500 I am trading in for the bigger machine. They are great everywhere except on hard snow/ice. Without chains, there is no traction.

I don't expect either tire to overcome ice, but am curious if anyone has experience/knowledge with the R4 and R14 and can give insights on either. I use the tractor to brush hog, maintain a gravel driveway, and plow - and a wide assortment of front end loader tasks.

Thanks!
