Just about to swap some wheels between two of my kubota tractors and noticed a kubota part number label on the back rims with an indication of handedness i.e. one wheel is marked left and the other right. Can anybody shed any light on this? I initially thought the rims might be a different offset but searching the parts diagrams seems to indicate the rims are the same but the sticker differentiates the handedness. Could be for agri or industrial tyres which have a direction of rotation but i doubt it makes much difference to grass tyres.
are rear wheels handed

As far as I know, my wheels are bi-directional. If you're concerned, look at the shape of the lug bolt holes.

As far as I know, all tractor tires are lugged to be directional- even turf tires
Yeah, I think that label is just denoting which way the tires are mounted from the factory.
I suspect so that some dumb technician won't put them on the wrong way after the crated tractor is delivered from Japan.

They are the same rims.
No difference in offset or any anything else to worry about.

The tire are not "handed" they will mount right and left.
They are directional on R1's, R2's, R4's, R14's and and some R3's.
once they are on the rims they will be backwards if you swap em is what i meant. which is probably why the wheel assembly is labeled.
