F2560 4WD Turf Damage

[MBofMB]

New rear tires (Kenda Super Turf 18x9.5-8 4-ply) were installed ... damaging the turf on turns now. Are there any adjustments to change the wheel rotation speed like there is on the cable controlled GR2100s? Could there be damage that I should take a look at that may be causing this? Do new units do the same thing (mine is around a 1998)?

Thank you for your time and efforts on any responses.

Welcome to the OTT forum. You have come to the right place to get answers.

Sorry that I can't answer your questions, but someone will be able to shortly.

Are the new tires dramatically more aggressive than the old ones?

Or is your diff lock engaged? (stuck?)

I think people could get real confused buy this, so some clarity, an F is a B turned backwards, so the large tires are the fronts and the small tires are the rears, and the rears steer.

Are you running it in 4wd? and if you switch to 2wd does it do the same or worse?

Is that the size you took off, or was it the 18 x 7.0 - 8 ?

Are your front tires worn?
Because if they are that will really throw off the ratio.

What is the RC (rolling circumference) of the new tires and what was the RC of the old tires.
If you don't know give the brand and exact size of the old rear tires.

Thanks for the responses.

Tires are all new; same size as OEM (4wd). The old steer tires (rear) were very smooth (because of the extreme camber Kubota places on the rear); so they didn't seem to do damage when turning.

The diff lock pedal is out, appears free (doesn't stick when pushed (engaged) and ten released.

Is there any area after the diff lock pedal that may be engaged slighly or sticking that I should check or adjust?

Are the rear (steer) assembly speed adjustable for the turns (like the GR2100 cables)?

Is there a way to reduce the camber of the rears so the tire last longer? Adjustments or adaptors?
