Niel ! Lots want to know exactly what new style tires do on the turf. Please drive it on the turf! I know the tires are not loaded, but be nice to see it do a med turn on the lawn :) thanks
Yes and JD is offering a hybrid type tire that is used in Europe that is interesting because they run on pavement frequently as well as dirt. So I guess this is the 2 top brands matching each other.
Wish that was an option for the BX80 series. They look great and the profile looks more snow friendly than R4 tires.
I have the R14 and so far they are great have 20 hours of dirt work and so far no issues at all getting into some deep piles or climbing grade fully loaded. I'm working in several days of rain/mud and no issues getting out of a mud pit. I would recommend them
Have you had them on the lawn yet?
How are the tires holding up? Do you still prefer the R14s?
I wish that Bridgestone or one of the other tire companies would make tires for garden and compact utility tractors with the soft rubber just like the Blizzak tires so I could skip putting rough riding chains on the back of my Toro 522xi garden tractor. I even considered finding some car type 23” tall Blizzaks and using wheel spacers to run them on my 522xi.
Can you do the wet lawn test like you did with the R4's?
EXACTLY!!
Yes. I used R4's to mow with. Useless.
I like em Neil. I have the R4 on my compact tractor while i like them their not very good in the barnyard in the winter time . I believe this R 14 might be the tire for me. Thanks buddy
I like the r14 tires on my b2601 don't tear up turf unless you are in four-wheel drive work really well in sand land as well
FYI for all with a kubota bx . These tires are coming out for bx tractor in the first part of 2020. Carlisle versa turf.
Intrested to see how they are in snow.
Me too!
...and how it does on turf.
They work perfect in both.
I wonder how they perform on snow. I use turf tires on snow and it's ok. Will be nice to see them perform compare to others. Thanks for the video
You should have a test area at your dealership . Mud hole / dirt pile and grassy area for testing . Better for sales 👍
good for one year tires. trelleborg tires is the only tire I will run. grate traction and they hold up for the long hall.
I would have liked this tire as an option for my B2650.
I finally decided on a 2601 and like these tires how will they wear vs R4 or bar? Good vid.
Nice self levelling swift tack teaser
Wonder if you can spend the tire on the rim like you can with the construction tire
Have a good year until Christmas ⛄🎁🎁🎁⛄ Amen 🙏🌄
You should do another one of your traction tests !
I have these tires on my new B2601. I have about 20 hours on them, so far they are great. They seem pretty durable too, as the nubs have not even worn off yet! This winter will be the true test though!
How did your r14s fair in the winter? How do you like them so far, have you managed to wear the nubs off yet??
KingBigBabyJesus I have had my B2601 for 11 months and almost 100 hours. The R-14 tires were very impressive in the winter. I always ran it with a snow blade in front and a box blade in the rear for weight and never came close to being stuck. I had R-4 tires on my old tractor, but this new tractor with R-14 tires goes through our MN snow with ease. I can even plow snow uphill now!
@@KingBigBabyJesus I have 100 hours on the tractor and tires right now, most of the nubs are gone, but some are hanging on! They seemed to work great in the winter too. I have a box blade on the back and a plow on the front, I have some hills in my driveway, I can still push snow up hill! Good traction!
I want to see how this tire compares to r1, r3, and r4. On dry grass and wet grass, as well as loader applications, and mud
My mom's neighbor's compact orange tractor caught on fire yesterday and we felt so bad for him but maybe he gets the chance to upgrade to the new R14.
What is the durometer reading?is there compound options for winter ?
Agree with chad Edwards, wonder how they are in snow?
I would love to have the b2601 with r1or r4 You can keep the atv tire. Thanks and good video 👍
Niel, can you get those in 43-16-20, no dealers over on iowa can? R14t tires, would love them for my jd 3720
Use the r-14 in the pulling test as the r1 and r4
Just ordered front an rears for my bx23's
I know Messicks had done vids on all tires, but I'd like to see one pinpointing the great traction of a good turf tire. On most every surface, except maybe the powder soft field, turf tires seem to out perform all others. Maybe because of ground contact footprint. Can you address plz? Thank you
What about snow?
Interesting loader. Looks heavier than the current 2601 loader.
Needs deeper lugs?, it looks over half worn out new.
If "lugs" are the outer and inner most edges, I agree, they don't look very thick, or 'proud'. Maybe that's necessary for target market, tho idk.
what's your opinion on getting any tire loaded?
Do they make it for the l3901 Kubota ?
Any idea on how the R14 is in snow?
I love the concept but as others have said the tread depth looks already 1/2 worn out, the tire looks like it needs to be double the depth?? a lot of tires I’m seeing this way now, seems like another way for the tire manufacturers to save money, shallow depth equals they wear out faster and they can sell you another set in a few hundred hours, Do they make them in a wider 17.5L-24 size???
how many plies on the R14? I know the R4 has more than the R1, 8 vs 6 etc....
Make video about the Tyre quality in ply rate option.
Thank you 🙏
Cheers from India 👍
My R4 tires have much deeper tread blocks. That tire looks about half worn as far as tread depth is concerned
Those look like Nokian tires. Do the M6 tractors have them? Also we’ve got R4s on our L5030 and they work perfectly, although we need to air them down. That tractor is on a very hilly piece of property in middle southern TN, and they work perfectly, they’re wide (great stability on hills going sideways), they’re ballasted (not particularly special to them but due to the width it helps add weight), they wear great (it doesn’t see asphalt much), my one complaint is the fronts should be a little wider, but that’s it.
Something neat about what Mahindra does, with some of their tires (our ‘03 5500 is this way) are ah tires, but they have the center line thing, the center of the lugs have a big knob on them, the tractor doesn’t really bounce at all, or make road noise, the knobs do wear pretty quick, but that’s probably because the tires (even after 16 years) aren’t really ‘hard rubber’.)
Neil, have you compared the different R3's that are avaialble? Secondly, can you tell me what the pto horsepower is for the B2601? If you use the build process on the web site it says 18.1. If you read the literature it says 19.5? Thanks-
Kubota is now using a very conservative standard for HP rating. That's the difference.
I’d love to have that tire as an option for the standard L series
They are available for the standard L. Check sizes available on Titan/ Goodyear website.
Do they make these for a john deere 2025R?
If I bought my M4 with R1s can I put the R14s on the same wheel, or do I need a different size wheel?
I have the R3 radial tires. On my green 2038R. They work well.
Mac, you were always my favorite on Sunny in Philadelphia
Its insane how much dude looks like Mac
I guess I should watch this show?
@@nickg2366 MacNiel? A super funny dude who knows a whole bunch of stuff about compact tractor equipment.
These tires were announced way back in February 2018.
Yeah..didn't they use a telegraph system and Pony Express riders for the announcement "way back in February 2018"?
Are the Goodyear R14 available for a BX2380? how much?
Any feedback on how these work for snow plowing vs the R3 (mighty mow's) ?
will let you know once we have some snow on the ground
Nice tire option. Another note. Did i see that 2601 with a self leveling loader? That would be sweet
Future video
Does it come in 28 inch rim?
Wish I could find a deeper lug tires for my bx1880. I have AG tires now just want a deeper lug like a real farm type lug depth.
They have r1 and r2 ag tires, r2 ag tires lugs are twice the depth as the r1 standard ones. They call the r2s rice tires from where they are typically used or you could get a set of those black mamba quad tires
Are you saying that I can not get the R14 tires for my 234 International tractor? I have diamond turf tires now, the front tires do not last long enough for me !
Currently
I'm perching a LX 2610 with a cab and I haven't made my mind up which tire I want any suggestions I do a lot of snow blowing in the winter time
R14
Final a option beside turf and R4. R4 are worthless all the way around. They don't grip on grass like turf and are helpless in gravel,snow or mud. I would still pick a R1 any day of the week. This compact tractors had to go 4 wheel drive because of the R4 can't get out of its own way in 2 wheel drive.
I agree completely. If I was getting an R4 tire, I would just get a turf tire instead. R1 tires are for work.
Being 6 lug does kubota rims fit other brands as well or are they all different to make life and costs more complicated? It appears as though the 6 lug kubota rim may fit something like Mahindra or John Deere tractors as well but I suspect they make their lug pattern different to keep it sort of proprietary and non interchangeable ?
The lug patterns are fairly common, but you also need to be concerned about widths, 4WD ratio's, etc. So much to get right swapping around is really never done.
I like that tire. I got a 17 b2601, i see some changes on the 19 and the loader looks different. Will you do a video on the new b2601?
its coming.
@@MessicksEquip Thank you! Keep up the great work.
update on tires?
My R4s by Goodyear on my 2 year old B2650 are all dry checked between the treads. Was there a issue with Goodyears? I’ve seen serval of the same posts on FB.
Not that I'm aware of.
Probably the reason why people didn't take that the past it looks like there's barely any rubber on it might as well plan on buying 2 sets
Would like to see it in mudor snow loaded with beet juice and with the 7060 and an M5-M6 👍😃👍
What do you think the life expectancy compared to an AG tire will be. An Ag tire to an R4, Ag will clean the mud out where R4 will not. Will these clean the mud. I am considering them on a 40 hp that I have need for the Ag tire. They are an extra 300
Probably not enough field experience out there yet to really answer that.
@@MessicksEquip Thanks I have heard Kubota is going to put them on the big farm tractors so they must have hopes for them I really enjoy your videos and am learning a lot from them They are very much appreciated.
Can I get a set of these for a B2630 that came with R4 tires 15 yearsa go? Its time for new front tires and think I should be looking at rears also due to age and constant flats I feel due to age and wear ant tear.
Yes, the tires off the current Lx2610 would fit.
How punch her resistant are they compared are they compared to the R4
The R4 is a more durable tire.
Kubota isnt the only manufacturer to offer these on a compact tractor. Deere and other brands offer them as well.
R14 is currently kubota exclusive, also your right there has been hybrid options for years
Interested to see how they are on anything but pavement.
My yard is not made of asphalt...
Exactly I never understand who is buying a tractor to use it as a pavement princess it's a tractor for goodness sake
Goodyear a great American company🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Actually as far as turf damage goes my R14s don't slide nearly as much as turf tires. The turf tires do more damage on a zero turn Z920M than a B2601 4x4 with R14s. My other BX 4x4 has turf tires, it doesn't slide as much being 4 wheel drive but I still like the R14s the best. I only use 12 psi in turf tires to improve the traction and ride. Why all the mowers? Some are on the farm and I don't live on the property.
I'm looking to retire my tractor that I use to make small bales on the mountainsides. Are these hybrids better for traction in the hay fields than the traditional R1s?
For all out traction, the R1 will be more tractive. For haying though, I'd take an R14 personally.
@@MessicksEquip It looks inviting but I haven't found it in the 14.9-28
My R4 Tires are now 5 years old. They SUCK! For Snow plowing. I have had tire chains on them for the last 4 years as well as Studded the tire for summer..
I do 80% dirt work, Maintain a gravel road.. Ag tire was crappy too for what i wanted. DEFF going to try these tires but going to stud them.
I have a B2320.DT
Neil I just bought a b2601 and they delivered it with r14 tires on the back and r4 in the front? Why and is it ok in your opinion
Should be fine
Thanks Neil for your super quick response I feel much better now. knowing that the tractor god says it'll be fine lol. I love your videos!!! I love the way you explain and educate, I'm not gay im just saying I love your videos!!!!! Lol.
Curious about tire pressure r14's, what's recommended. Do they come filled for ballast from dealer. I watch all your video's. New tractor l 2501. Thanks great video's I've learNed a lot from watching.
Follow the pressure on the sidewall, no they don't come filled by default you need to ask for that.
How about for the bx series
These are not offered for the BX but check out the carlisle wt300's, i have these on my BX and LOVE them, they are half the price of a turf or r4 and are better IMO for all around work. They sell them in the same ply rating and sizes as whats on your bx now. Check amazon and ebay for best deals on these. I got mine off ebay.
@@BiffsEquipment they are coming out with them. First part of 2020. Carlisle versa turf.
Now available for the bx’s.
Can you get a Goodyear/ titan tire in R1? I've been told no!
There is an R1, yes. Not sure on brand
This is not a tire related question but why don't you hear anything about the B3350 tractor are they a not so good ??
Spotted history of emissions problems. Okay in warm climates, not snowy ones. Dealers tend to avoid.
I've had no real issues with my B3350 just general maintenance. Had it 2 years so far. I know there were a few issues with the DPF system on models a few years ago, especially in cold climates. There isn't much of a capability jump between the B2650 and the B3350...just the PTO horsepower increase. For many people the price jump and extra DPF equipment of the B3350 aren't worth it.
@@erikniemi1977 yea, they are pretty much fixed now... but that stain did not go away entirely
What are the sizes - hope 24-12-12
Local tire guy says they will only last about 1/2 a Firestone R-4. Is that true?
Would depend on the application.
Is that a self leveling loader 🤔? New for 2019?
Possibly... I don't know.
Yes. video coming.
Another great video. Sounds like this is not a good option for mowing or turf
I was interested in these until I saw what Goodyear's dress code involved. They will never get a dime of my money.
Hi
Sup
So it's not actually a real tractor tire but a turf tire.
Actually its more aggressive that an r 4 tire so I wouldn't say that its a turf tire. But I sure would like to see it on the turf to see what it does. Because I use my tractor on the turf and the dirt quite a bit and I also do a lot of driving on the road. So if this tire was easy on the turf it would probably be my next tire but I think its going to be a little more rough on the turf.
R14!?! it's like they smashed together the R1 and R4.... could it have the traction of the R1 with the life of the R4?
@@gus473 it was scarcsiom, that's what they did.
R 4 is much better for all applications.
NOT MADE FOR MY BX1880. WASTED A TRIP TO MY DEALERSHIP TO BUY THESE.
Road is not a verb.
Sure it is. It means: to use on road
Good tread design but where's the beef, " it looks over half worn out new."
It looks like a great choice for these lawn mowers they call sub compact tractors. Not a viable choice for a real tractor.
These tires go bald realy fast
They've been available for less than 6 months. Do you have a set you've worn out?
