WHEELS & TYRES
Examine wheels and tyres periodically for correct infla-
tion pressures, tight wheel bolts, and any physical dam-
age that may be a detriment to tractor operation and op-
erator safety. Corect condition prior to tractor operation.
Tyre Inflation Pressures
FIG. 6-43:
Maintaining correct tyre pressure will help in-
sure tyre life. Never exceed the maximum inflation pres-
sure specified on the tyre. If tyres have deep scratches,
cuts or punctures, the respective tyre should be repaired
or replaced by qualified personnel as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT: If necessary to replace any tyre (s),
ensure original tyre size is used. This
is particular-ly true on 4-WD models to
ensure correct amount of front axle over-
speed (or “lead”) is maintained.
Wheel Bolt Torque
Periodically check all wheel bolt torques.
Correct bolt torques:
Front Wheel Bolts
90 Nm (66 ft-lbs)
Rear Wheel Bolts
220 Nm (162 ft-lbs)
CAUTION: Correct wheel bolt torque must
be maintained. Installation of front or mid-
mounted implements (ex: loaders, mowers)
impose increased loads and require fre-
quent checking of wheel bolts.
Front Wheel Spacing
Tread widths may be varied by using the following meth-
ods as applicable. Tread widths are measured tyre cen-
tre to tyre centre as close to the ground as possible.
NOTE: Make certain desired setting is compatible with
implements to be used to prevent clearance
and interference problems.
