Tires Kubota M135X Duals?

[jacejackson14]

Was wondering if it could ever be possible to put duals on a Kubota M135X with a 135 HP and 118 PTO HP... Just curious if it could ever be done.

If your talking 4 rear wheels on 1 axle - I've seen duals on a B7610.

Everything is possible, given time and money.

Kubota doesn't mention duals in their specs or as an option on "Build my Kubota". Something that duals can do is overload the bearings. They do offer a wide front tread width option but don't say anything about rears other than 4 tire options.

I read through the Manuel that comes with the tractor and it said that duals are not permitted.

I was surfing the welding forum and someone had made a small tractor dual FRONT

So even if it's "not permitted" it's probably possible.

Alright thanks!

I'm sure you could get a set of 'snap-on' or 'clamp-on duals for it as they are pretty universal. However, in every Kubota manual I have read (from B7610 up to M9540) they specifically recommend against dual wheels, my guess is it is the same for the M135x. Generally, tractors that are designed to run duals will have rack-and-pinion rear axles where the axle itself sticks out to mount the duals on, mostly row-crop tractors 100+hp. (the Kubota despite it's size is still a utility class tractor in many regards.)

I'd attribute the stern warnings in the manual to the fact that they didn't have duals in mind when designing the tractor. As such they don't want the liability that would go along with it if there was ever trouble/failure. What are you using the tractor for that you need duals?

I had to go pick up a pallet of corn seed today and on my way through the countryside I saw a large Kubota (not positive on the model but one of the largests they make) and it reminded me of this thread. It was hooked to a disk and had clamp on duals on the rear. Sorry, no pictures as I was driving and it was parked out behind the house next the the barn. So I can tell the OP that at least one person has done it to a Kubota so far but I wish I knew who owned it as I would have asked him about it but I was in unfamiliar territory and have no idea of who owns what farm in that area.

Alright well we have the biggest they make and it would be pretty cool for it but thanks for telling me I'll look into snap on duals

People use duals on Kubotas around here, snap on type. Only while doing top work though. Even tractors that are designed for clamp on type duals its hard if you use them on the road or over inflate the outer tire. I've seen broken wheel studs from guys running them fast on cupped back roads with heavy manure tankers etc. The inner tire falls into the cup. My MF tells you to move the tires all the way in before adding duals but I'd bet not many do that.
