New7040 tire option

[foreman Etexas]

Well I just got the new tires put on and figured would post a cple pics. Tires and rims are what come on the 8540/9540's. Also turned it to wider stance but not the widest it could go,had to un-bolt center part of rims.

Very nice, I really like big, wide tires on a tractor.

Looks good. I've been thinking about setting mine wider, as it sure seems narrow from the factory.

looks real good with the bigger tires on it.

I think they are narrow from the dealer too-how wide is the new rear?
It is also nice to be able to get through the smaller gates...especially in the winter for plowing up from the barn.

Sorry guess I should have included what the sizes are,the front is a 11.2-24(standard size 9.5-24) and the rear 16.9-30....

And what I have never got was that the rims dont match on the 7040s,here is a photo of my old 5040 the rims match. The new front rims I put on the 7040 look like they match,the back ones better now,I think...

I am looking at a M7040, and the thing I do not like are the small tires. Can you tell me a little more about what you did? Such as, did you have to replace the rim centers? Did you keep the old tires, and so on? The one I am looking at has the 8 speed.
