This company http://www.artrac.com/ use to be, I believe, a distributor of that tractor. They may be able to point you in the right direction as well. No promises!

The idea was to help members who have not been on the site quickly clear up everything as read. Then simply go to the specific topics you are interested in and then mark them unread so they will reappear back as unread. Now new Topics á they get added should start to show up as unread going forward. 😥 I think! If you click on a topic and scroll through it it will assume it is red and it will no longer appear as unread under your subscription section again this simply helps you keep up with what’s new since you last explored the site

Update: All members post from the old forum were able to be correctly matched to the post so we have successfully moved the forums threads to the new site. 🙂 A few images might not move, but if a hyperlink was used within the post, then those links should still pull the images.

If the tire size is correct, what about the actual TIRE PRESSURE ? Maybe its as simple as that?
Here is a old reprint post from another forum by Kelvin back in 2000 on TractoByNet on how to check for proper tire size:
When correct 4wd tractor front-rear tire size pairings are unknown or unavailable, I have come up with a simple test to determine if questionable substitute tire sizes are acceptable AFTER they are installed on the tractor. While I have an engineering degree, my statement is far from scientific or educated so please feel free to debate this issue.
Kelvin’s Questionable Test: To determine if your tractor’s 4wd gearing is compatible with the installed wheels & tires, do the following test with the tractor engine shut off and transmission in neutral (this is easiest on smaller tractors):
(1) Put the tractor in 2wd mode and see how easy the tractor is to push straight forward or backward.
(2) Put the tractor in 4wd mode and then see how easy the tractor is to push straight forward or backward.
(3) If there is resistance in 4wd mode that was not encountered in 2wd mode then the tires size may be a problem.In my specific case, the Kubota B6100/B7100 tractors call for 20.5×8.00-10 front turf tires which are no longer available (there are golf car and trailer tires available in that size, but they (1) don’t have the correct tread and (2) supposedly are not the same size as a tractor turf tire bearing the same numbers).
With my AG tires, my improvised test was successful. With turf tires mounted (correct rear tires with 20.0×8.00-10) the test failed (I had a lot of difficulty pushing the tractor in 4wd).
While comparing the B7100 to the B7100’s replacement (B7300) I noticed that all of the recommended Ag and Turf tire sizes were the same except for the front turf tires; instead of 20.5×8.00-10 the B7300 recommended a 21.0×8.00×10 which is a tire that is available. I bought a pair, mounted them and performed the above test. The tractor rolled equally easy in 2wd and 4wd mode.
So is the above mentioned simple test valid? If so, whomever reads this may want to pass the tire size information to anyone with “turf tire-equipped 4wd B6100s or B7100s” that the 21.0×8.00-10 is an acceptable substitute front turf tire.

Hal, Two questions: Will there be the capability to see the ‘unread’ posts I have not looked at yet? When going to a thread would like to see the portion that I have not read before. Possible? Thank you for your time, RonJ
That has now been addressed and explained under this post link HERE

We have updated our TWITTER account as well to also post TOPIC questions for those that want to follow us through a TWITTER feed as well. Not required, just moving us to modern technology! Our TWITTER address for those interested is: https://twitter.com/ctoanet (to see what new topics have posted)
All Members, please know that we are NOT SHARING personal information on those social sites, we are simply using them to display NEW QUESTIONS posted in our FORUMS ! It is being used as a media tool to promote our site using today’s most popular social sites where people can FOLLOW us that are or are not members to see what is being discussed about on our site. This is all part of revitalizing our web presence and support for those looking for help about their Chinese tractor and bulldozer needs.
Our sites forums have always allowed anyone to VIEW them for FREE, but only require a one time membership fee to be able to interact within them etc. I think that is a fair model and that small $15 fee keeps a lot of SPAMMERS off our site which is very important to all of us. (1,200+members strong)
