L3940 20yr old tires

[okiecraig]

Well, I been on this webpage since I was a hell of a lot younger and could still do everything I wanted to and my tractor tires were new!

My beloved Grand L3940 appears to be in need of new tires. Tread edges worn, corners broken off, cracked sidewalls.... The tires still hold air but I am taking the tractor to Colorado for a spell this summer and the ground surface is covered with glacier cobbles and angular stones.

Any suggestions for new tires? Currently have OEM Titan R4 10-16.5 6PR on the front, 17.5L-24 on the rear. Will this cost me a couple thousand?

Won’t be cheap but you got your money’s worth. Look at R14’s and do some reading before you make your final decision. A lot has changed in 20 years.

Holy Smoke! First price check is around $2700 for front and rear set.

Baby needs a new set of shoes. If you think the tractor will outlast new tires, go for it, otherwise consider used tires.
