M4950DT with FEL, L200 with rototiller, RTV900 with winch
Hi, the R1 tires on my M4950DT are pretty worn, especially the rears, so I'm considering getting new tires and maybe switching to R4's as I understand they would be a better match for my purposes.
The current tires on the tractor are 8.3-24 in the front and 14.9-28 on the rear, and I just double checked the Owners Manual and confirmed those are the correct sizes.
So my questions are:
1) What size R4's do I need, front and rear?
2) Can I buy R4's and put them on my current rims or will I need new rims, too?
3) Doubt I'll do this but thought I'd ask just in case it's a viable option: the fronts are not that worn, so I'm wondering if I could just replace the rears with R4's and leave the R1's on the front, or is it a bad idea to mix R1's with R4's?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks in advance for any assistance, I'm stoked to get some new rubber!![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
