I have a JD3720 tractor and am not sure what to do. Then problem tire is an R-4 8ply 27X8.50-15 NHS bought in 2010 and 1300 hours on it. No fluid in the tire.
I rolled the front tire half off, removed it from tractor, wire brushed the rusty beads, took it to a tire dealer and had it reinstalled. A couple days later I noticed tire pressure was way down. I soaped down the tire and noticed a lot of leakage on a seam about 3/4" from the bead on half a dozen different spots around tire and one very smallish leak on tread part. A aired up tire will last 3 days before it is unusable.
The easy fix would be to put a tube in it. But, I want to replace both fronts.
I googled the discription on Amazon and up pops the size but it looks like a skid steer 14 ply tire. I have no idea of the exact circumference and I also have no idea what NHS stands for. The pattern is fine with me.
I guess I am looking for a little guidance as to which route to take before I order tires that won't work.
Thanks.
