Front tires go flat

[Blondie70]

Wolfman...these are rated for 55 or 52 psi max. They are the 8 ply rated 16" farm type (1 ?) 4wd fronts. Running 30 and torqued one off in a ditch one time....so up the pressure goes to stop that....plus need pressure when using the bucket.
Thanks, Pete

For what it’s worth, many BX guys/gals have had issues with front tires losing air, me included. Appeared to be bead leakage.
I put Slime in one. Fixed it, but some aren’t a fan of Slime...

Changing the tire with slime in it- some shops won't fool with them

Sure doesn't sound like a stock L2501 ag tire size.

This is from the LA525 OPERATOR'S MANUAL:

If you put water in the tires they will not leak air.......[emoji39][emoji16]

Roger on the manual's recommendations for tire pressure. Look on the tire, however and it is rated for far above that. Too low and they will torque off when in a bind. Happened to me. Seems to work better with more pressure when the bucket is loaded and I am not worried about them popping off the bead. Just depends on what one is doing with the tractor, I reckon.
Good luck, Pete

What brand and size do you have on it?

 

[Blondie70]

For brand and size.....it's a stock tire on a new tractor....L2501DT. I could check later for the specifics....but they are on a new tractor .

Not meaning to pick on you or call you out on anything, But per manual and per what kubota says, an 8ply front tire is not stock on a L2501 that's why all of us are a little perplexed on your situation.

 

[Blondie70]

Nary a problem, Wolfman. I know you are after the facts. Like a hound dog on the trail...haha.....anyways, it may be 8 ply rating instead of 8 ply. I forgot to look at it today except that they are NOT flat !!!!! Think they are Goodyear. Farm type grip and totally stock.
Another thing about the front end...once when I had low press (26) in them, in some rough ditchy area, I torqued one off the rim. Looking at these things in a tite turn, it seems the camber has them kinda pigeon toed...or maybe it's the toe in that is so great. Don't reckon the camber can be adjusted, but the toe in can....wonder if I got em spread out more on the front, would they turn better without trying to peel the tires off ?????
What do you think ?
Thanks, Pete

I got the tire info....had to wade thru waist deep snow in my slippers, but I got it.....tires are Goodyear "Power Torque" Tubeless R-1 7.2 - 16 8 ply rating
max infl: 52 psi
Rite off the sidewalls.
