New tractor - No bueno

Is this normal for a 2 week old tractor with 25 hours on it?

What was it rubbing against?

Tire de-rimmed most likely because tire was not inflated to spec when serviced prior to delivery. This usually occurs on front tires because steering stresses the sidewalls.

Its not the tractor. It was the service person.

RK is probably going to say that over 2 weeks YOU should have noted the tire pressure.

Who would I take it to for repair?

Your tractor is under warranty. Call your Rural King. It is RKs responsibility.

Its RK's responsibly to maintain the air pressure in the tires ???
How do you know the OP didn't run over something causing the flat.
Pop the tire back on the rim and go.

Looks like the tire was scrapping against something, my sidewalls don't look as bad as that one does with 300 hours..

Good morning all, good call on the tire. Took it off this morning found a huge nail on the bottom we couldn稚 see until it was off. Repaired and tractor mom is back at it.

A tire issue can happen at anytime, no matter how many hours. Can you describe the conditions the tractor was under when it happened? It's an easy fix with the front loader as your floor jack!

Yep. Inflate to the correct pressure, if no leaks, move on. If you can't do it yourself, your tractor dealer or any tire shop would be able to seat the tire bead.
