K specs show M6040 ft tire size (4wd) as 12.4x24. the stock fronts on my 7040 are 9.5x24. Can I switch to the 12.4x24 on fronts (AG) w/o damage to: 1) ft differential/ axle 2) 4wd 3) limited slip 4) warranty? will they fit on existing wheels? could use more traction w/fels & wet conditions.thanks bb

Kubota tech (central) just told me this cannot be done as the ratio would be interrupted. just to avoid confusion. bb

The size you want to use can't be but the R1W option exists.

It is sold in Canada as an option using the exact same gearing as the US tractors. The key is using the right size tires and rims.

Try another person at Kubota. Other TBN members have had them find the right rims from OTR for them.
