tire width

[Anonymous Poster]

Can the tire spacing be made wider on an L2500 4wd?

Are ther any turf tires available for this tractor?

I'm pretty sure all the L series and B series Kubotas have adjustable width on the rear wheels. Check out the other discussion thread in this forum on the same topic.

I'm not too sure that's true. A while back, Bird and I had a discussion about tire widths. Apparently his 2710 doesn't have any adjustment. We did some comparing and figured out that the width on his tractor was about the same as my B7500 with the tires all the way out. I guess they figured that once you made the jump to the larger tractor changing widths was no longer required.

Bill, Jeff's right; they're not all adjustable. My B2710 is one of those that is not.

I'll be darned. How do you find out without looking at the axles?

I think it's like determining the sex of a dog; ya gotta look. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Either that (whihc might be the easiest way) or the Operator's Manual which, says:

Front tread can not be adjusted.

Important

Do not turn front discs to obtain wider tread.

Rear tread can not be adjusted./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I just noticed that Harv on the "Steepest Slopes" thread just mentioned that his L2500 has adjustable rear wheel widths.

So, it looks like you will have to peek under her skirt to find out. /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

I have an L2500 and yes, the tires have 4 different width settings. The tractor came on the narrowest setting for shipping and I've since change it to the widest setting. Makes a HUGE difference on slopes. The bolts attachment points on the outer rim have two different offset poisitions to mount to the inner rim. (two positions). Then the rim can be mounted in the covex or concave position which gives you two more width settings. When switching to the widest setting you flip the tire around and mount it on the opposite side. Makes a lot more sense when you can actually look at the mounting system.
