 Topic: Recommend Good Tires for Loader
Posted: 25 Jan 2011 at 10:18am |
|
I need to replace front tires on a big bucket loader tractor. At least E rated or in the old days, 10-12 ply rated for sure. Original size was 7.50 x 16 and I just discovered that 11 inch wide pickup tires are too wide and rub against the spindle steer arms..of course. Any experience with brands or mfg recommendations good or bad. Seems hard to find a 16 inch less than 11 inches wide with a real load rating in my on line search so far.

I used wagon float type tires on IH 460 Utility with Henry loader
On the 715B I have a Goodyear tire made for Industrial laoders , might try to look in dealer catalog and see whatthey have for TLB use.

A 215-85-16 tire would work out also unless you are in soft ground. We have some 10ply 7.50-16 3 rib on the front of our loader tractor, but they were expensive..

Matt where did you get them? 8 ply were from 80-130, couldn't find any 10 ply. My tires break out in the side wall before the tread facing is worn down very much..and I keep them up over 45-50+# pressure. Use to run at 35-40 but didn't hold up at that pressure either.

they were from the local Cenex store, I believe they were almost $200 each with the tube.
