1. TIRES

WARNING
• Do not attempt to mount a tire on a rim. This should be done by a qualified person with the proper
equipment.
• Always maintain the correct tire pressureìo not inflate tires above the recommended pressure shown in
the operator's manual.
IMPORTANT
• Do not use tires other than those approved by KUBOTA.
• Dual tires are not approved.
NOTE
• When optional different-diameter tires are fitted on the machine, the travel speed display mode must be
changed. Otherwise the travel speed will not get correctly displayed. Such mode switching is also needed
when the original tires are back on the machine. (Refer to "4. CHECKING AND ADJUSTING" at "L9.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM" section in this manual.)

[1] TIRE SIZE AND INFLATION PRESSURE

IMPORTANT
• Excessive wear of tires may occur due to improper gear ratio.

[2] TREAD ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION
• When working on slopes or when working with trailer, set the wheel tread as wide as practical for maximum
stability.
• Support tractor securely on stands before removing a wheel.
• Do not work under any hydraulically supported devices. They can settle, suddenly leak down, or be
accidentally lowered. If necessary to work under tractor or any machine elements for servicing or
adjustment, securely support them with stands or suitable blocking beforehand.
• Never operate tractor with a loose rim, wheel, or axle.
Through the tire pressure is factory-set to the prescribed level, it
naturally drops slowly in the course of time. Thus, check it every day
and inflate as necessary.
Recommended Inflation Pressure
• Maintain the pressure shown below for normal use.
Tire sizes
Front 360/70R20
Rear 480/70R28
NOTE
• Maintain the maximum pressure in front tires, if using a front
loader of when equipped with lots of front weight.
