Kubota tires

[MrBwill]

I purchased new tires and wheels from a dealer in Butler Pa for my BX23 a few months back. Originally my front tires were 8 inch tires/rims but the new ones for the front came in as 10 inch, which I guess is the route Kubota is going when replacing tires. Once I mounted the front tires I have been in a constant struggle to keep air in the tires. In checking, there is no inner tube available for these 10 inch tires, either from Kubota or anywhere I could find. Since it is over 90 days since I purchased the tires and rims ( I waited a few months before mounting them) the dealer just shrugs his shoulders saying" there is nothing I can do because you went past 90 days." I am not looking for a refund, just a solution but no help at all from the dealer. any suggestions?

First thing is find another dealer.

Thank you for your enlightening suggestion - DAH

Are the new tires the same circumference as the old ones?
I'll also second the suggestion to dump that dealer - it's good advice.
Try contacting Messicks - I get most of my parts from them - they have been very helpful & knowledgeable.

I'd check with Agri Supply. A tube size isn't anywhere near as critical as a tire size for a particular wheel. You can get something close and still be ok. A 6x12 tube might do ya and if worse comes to worse, you can fill them with foam.

Agri Supply does have a 10" tube.

Where are they leaking from is it at the bead and rim or where. bead sealer or flat repair may help

This is a real backyard solution, but pour boiled linseed oil into them, then air them up. It helps to slosh the tire so the inners all get coated. I used 1/4 can per wheelbarrow tire, you may need to use 1/2 can per tire. After hearing about it, I tried it 3 times and it worked great each time.

The fronts were no longer available for my BX and Kubota had substituted a different style.

They work ok but had the same issue.

I used Slime and no problems since.

You should try and use liquitube, that stuff fills up to 1/4 holes and it is specially made for low mile an hour vehicles like tractors. Me and my dad had a problem with our front tires of our bx and took it to the dealer and they fills the front tires with liquitube in both of them and it's been 6 months or more and we haven't had a leak in them yet. I've read online that liquitube doesn't freeze until about -43 degrees F. That should fix your tire problem, you might want to have the dealer do it though.
