Tire Size and Matching Requirements
Laminated Sectional Tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and the
mower will not be transported for long distances or at high speeds.
Foam Filled Aircraft Tires are also designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required.
These tires provide better service where transporting is frequent and high speeds can be avoided.
Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway
or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake
pedals should be locked together. Locking the
pedals ensures that both wheels brake
simultaneously while stopping, especially when
making an emergency stop.
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of
the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road
speeds. For towing speeds, refer to Chart #1 in the
Tires and Wheels Section.

Tire and Wheels
Laminated Sectional Tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and
the mower will not be transported for long distances on roadways. Transport speed for laminated tires should
not exceed 12 MPH. Excessive speed can cause damage to the machine and tire sections. Laminated tires
must be installed with the laminations orientated as shown.
Foam Filled used Airplane Tires
are ideal for conditions where a puncture proof tire is needed and the
mower is frequently transported between locations.
Pneumatic Tires
Implement tires are ideal for frequent long distance towing, however, they are not puncture
proof and are not recommended for mowing brushy areas or other conditions that could damage the tires.
Check side wall of tire for proper inflation pressure. DO NOT over-inflate. OPS-R-0035_J
