bx23s tires?

[ravensview]

Hello All, first time posting on here, anybody know why ag tires are not offered as an option on the bx23s series tractor, also has anybody run the new style tire that came out recently I believe that they are r14's or something like that. Also has anybody run chains on there bx on the fronts and rears? Thanks

I think they still offer a bar/lug option. That's like an ag style. I ran them on my old BX23 for many years.

Last year(May 2018) I was offered all 3 versions of tires, chose the R4 (skidsteer - industrial ) version.1/2 my work is on sod/dirt , 1/2 on gravel. so it's a very good compromise. The don't tear up the sod, good traction in dirt,easy on packed gravel( shop driveway/parking area).
What I would LOVE to buy are Kenda K514s though. The OEM GM 4 ply tires blistered out with < 218 hrs on them ! Kub replaced free but still, tires only rated for 830# each. I can't see them lasting with loader having 400# in it all day long.

Bought my BX23S in April of this year, with R4 tires which is the Industrial tire. That option is still available and they now have a 3rd option available as well.

that is what I have on mine the Industrial tire, The new tire tread pattern looks better to me, I did not see ag tires offered on these models though, maybe because of clearance issues, or intended uses for tractor, I dont know
