I ruined the front R1 tire on my L4400 and am having trouble finding a replacement. Who are some of the dealers who handle this tire? It's a 8.3 16 NHS.
I had to replace my fronts on my M4700. The local Mississippi dealer wanted an amazing price for "Kubota tires". The local Fredricksburg, Va dealer charged $300@ for 9.5x22 tube, tire, mounting, hammering the rim out a bit. That was the best price I could find.
I'm glad when I bought the tractor the rears were virtually new.
Kubota B8200, then a Kubota L3130 HST, now a Kubota L3400 HST
Be glad it's a front and not a rear! Since Kubota doesn't make tires, you should be fine in finding a suitable replacement from where ever it's cheapest. Shipping should be reasonable.
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.
Some of the tire places I've talked to say to replace the 8.3 with an 8 as it is the same height and about half the price but I'm having trouble finding out the load capacity of these tires. Since I have a front end loader I want tires strong enough to handle the load.
