I have a Kubota M6 141 tractor with a loader. I noticed the other day that one front tire was wearing off on one side, while the other front tire was showing even tire wear. While seated on the tractor, the tire on my right is wearing unevenly, while the tire on the right is absolutely even wear pattern.
This picture is of the right front tire, and you can see how the cleats on the right side of this tire are wearing.
This picture is of the front left tire, and as you can see, it is wearing evenly across the top of the tire. I called my dealer, and asked if there was some way to stop this tire from eating its self up? Can they do an alignment, or is this a sign of something going wrong with bearings in the front axle? What could cause this irregular wear pattern? Dealer told me I must be driving in and off the pavement on to the gravel while travelling the road, and thats the problem. I told him BS!! This tractor has only 2010 hours and spends it time hooked to the baler, or cutting hay all summer. I have another Kubota tractor MX 135 , same size tractor but earlier model, and it hauls the hay and gets plenty of road work. With nearly 3000 hours, its tires are wearing evenly. So my driving habits are not the problem. What is causing the one tire to eat its self up ? I want to get to the bottom of this problem and correct the issue before this tire is completely trashed. If the problem is just ignored, it will destroy the next tire too. So what is causing this irregular tire wear in one front tire? Any ideas ? Bruce

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
