Deere wheels on Kubota

[Killer RC]

I think these are the same size rear wheels and bolt pattern as what's on my M4700, right?

Well, I won the auction. I measured and they should fit. They just need some orange paint.

Oh no you didn't buy those...
Sorry had too do that.
I was going to jump in earlier and got tied up, but I have measured several and they are the same bolt pattern and center hole size too.

Maybe now those guys will quit picking on you for the odd tires on your M4700!
Oh wait that was me... Please disregard!

Those will really give you some good bite and they are the right size so they will work great, and you got a great price on them too!

If the measurements are the same they should fit. Almost none of the tractor manufacturing companies make their own wheels. They all buy them from companies that specialize in making wheels. That is why they all look the same. Also you can buy replacements from aftermarket sources and get the same wheels.

Thanks.
I looked around and that seemed like a pretty good price, plus they're ready to bolt on. I bet they'd cost way more at the Kubota dealer.

Ya did good!

Just leave em yellow...

 

[BAP]

Leave them yellow and tell everybody you have an extremely rare experimental unit that is worth lots of money. That ought to leave them confused, or on the other hand they may think you are crazy. Let them figure it out.

Do you keep horses or cattle?

Thanks.
I used to. I need to buy a few calves to raise for beef.

I don't want horses again. They are fun and pretty, but too much trouble and expense. Eating fence boards, stall doors, buying feed, washing them, trimming their hair, cleaning out their hooves, paying the farrier. No thanks. I got 1 wife and 4 kids, and a dog. That's enough.

The Kubota dealer mounted the wheels and filled the tires. It's back to stock width now. The previous owner had the wheels set real wide. Now it fits much easier on the trailer, and I should be able to get the bush hog and tiller closer to fence lines, since the rear is narrower.

With the tires filled with Rim Guard it feels a lot more planted. The ride might be a touch stiffer too, but no big deal. Maybe new tires are stiffer? Probably mostly because the Rim Guard displaces air and doesn't absorb shock as much as air.

How many gallons did he use and what if I may ask was the cost?

How many gallons did he use and what if I may ask was the cost?

My tires are 14.9 x 28, so they required 53 gallons per tire. 106 gallons. At about 11 pounds a gallon that's 1166 pounds.

2 hours labor $165.
$339.20 for 106 gallons of Rim Guard.
That's $504 plus tax.

We have a horse farm/boarding business here at the house. My 18 year old daughter and father run it together. It is a lot of work, but it's her thing. She owns 4 horses and a donkey, and we have 5 borders. She boards, conditions, and trains.

Man, that tractor looks better with matching tires! Nice!
