tri rib tractor front tires

ericlb · Nov 27, 2014

ok what are your guys getting? i just blew a tire on a jd 301a, this tractor has a farmhand loader on it the tri ribs arnt the best tire for that but they do work, this one was a 600x16 but the original size may have been 6;50 im not sure,thru the years i have used whatever i had when i needed a tire , i went to the 16 inch pickup tire bone pile, but it seems i already used all my tires that actually hold air on other tractors, ect, ebay shows plenty of them ranging form a set with rims for 35 bucks each [ bet those are good ones] to 169.00 the tire appear to be similar so what do you advise? cheaper is better or spend some money, the tractor doesnt really see much time, i use it for firewood and some small discing areas

Think about airplane tires.Gensco tire in Texas deals em.'Bullet proof'.reasonably priced,Tractor rim included.Will probably outlast you and the tractor.

thanks delta i think im going to do that, how i got it going for today just because its a little strange,being as everything in town is closed for the holidays i have to make do with what i can find here. "borrowed" a spare tire off a trailer,it says trailer only on it, heck the tractor certainly wont go as fast as the trailer gets pulled, no tube for 16 around here, searched for my big bung rubber valve stems for tubeless, they are either all used, or hiding, but i found a 6 inch long one for my kenworth truck, a 90*, so i installed that in the wheel, not exactly the correct profile or thickness, but it worked [ slight leak] bent that until i could just get a air chuck on it, it does have a slight leak but heck it can use the tractor around the place untill the new rubber gets here just have to watch the air pressure, i got a service truck, so air is mobil

I went to implement tires on front of loader tractor, I love them.

i would use a pickup tire with the heavier load range as it will outperform any impliment tire. they just dont last when moving heavy bales.

Check out Nebraska Tire they have loads of Ag tires at very good price and real reasonable shipping.

I just replaced the tires on my Jubilee, 6x16. I got a pair of 8 ply made in china tires and tubes off ebay. Tire barn mounted them for me. Total cost for both $190.

A friend went to tire barn and they got a tire for him and the total cost was a little over $100 for a 6x16.
