L4740 vs L5240

I was thinking that you were looking at getting R1s.

Ah yes. At one point I was strongly going in the direction of R1's. I've now settled on R4s for some flotation on the wet parts of my pasture and so as not to tear up any more areas that I have to go through than I already do. Plus the tire being beefier for loader work.

I talked to a dealer who pointed out to me that he recommends the R4s in the CUTs for those doing loader work but R1s are what he would go with if I were getting an M series. I suspect that the R1s in the M are beefier wrt. ply or something and perhaps fluid capacity.

Check to see if the R1 are radials, Michelin for example. Beats the pants off of bias ply any day, especially when it comes to flotation.

I'm pretty sure that the MX line and the 5x40 line share the same size ag tires. You would need to look further into it but it's possible all of the smaller M series have the same size ag tires.

When I asked my wife if I should get tires that would furthur tear up the areas our tractor currently does, she was adamantly opposed to the R1's! Regardless, they also raise height a bit and I'm low on clearance.
