Where to buy a new Kubpta tire?

[MessickFarmEqu]

I believe this is the same tire that's on the L4701. If so, you can buy a tire and rim though wholegoods for about what anyone else will charge for just the rubber tire.

I believe a new tire and wheel can be purchased from Kubota for less than $300 when going through whole goods (not parts). This might be an option depending on how much the tire cost plus mounting.

I purchased a BX tire and rim through whole goods, and yes it was cheaper than buying just the tire.

I'm unfamiliar with the classification "wholegoods" . Would someone enlighten me and advise where to find?

Thanks!

When I was looking for my front tires for my M4700 the Tupelo, MS dealer quoted far more than the $300 I eventually paid at Dickinson Kubota, Fredericksburg, Va for 9.5x22's. And I specifically asked for whole goods price.

Whole goods are sold by the department that sells the tractors. Parts prices are typically through the parts department. Stop by you local Kubota dealer and talk with the tractor sales person. They should know what "wholegoods" prices are since this is the resource they use to price tractor sales from.

If you strike out call Messick's for the straight answer.

For reference you might consider googling Kubota wholegoods and you'll find a few PDF examples so you can see first hand.

My friend needed a pair of fronts for his B21 and priced at major truck and tractor outlets.
Kubota's price for tire and rim (mounted) from dealer was less than bare tires at tire wholesalers.

Below is an example from the Wholegoods price list for a 8.3-16 tire/wheel assembly albeit for a B series tractor. As you can see, the price list is from March 2014, so it should be fairly accurate. (see wholegoods picture below)




Wholegoods:





If a tire and wheel assembly was sourced from Kubota through their parts department the tire assembly would be $398 versus $248 through wholegoods. (see parts below)

Parts (from Messick's website):



Added in edit 03-03-15:
This is for a L-Series tractor.

Make sure that the side wall ply rating is the same as your old tire. I also have a front loader and when my tires wore out I decided to get the cheaper tires from a tire company. Wore out the new front tires in 40 hours because of the front loader use. Fortunately the place that mounted my tires had my old set in a dumpster, ended up putting the old tires back on until I could find tires with the same side wall ply rating.

definitely Kubota whole goods that way you get a tire already mounted on a wheel not just a tire always good to have a spare must go thru sales not parts.
