KUBOTA B17X TIRES
The Kubota B17X is equipped with standard agricultural tires (5.00-12 front and 8-18 rear), designed to enhance traction and stability on varied terrains. These tire sizes provide a balanced footprint, beneficial for tilling and hauling tasks, yet may pose challenges in deeper mud or soft soil where larger tires could offer better flotation. Ideal scenarios include small-scale farming and gardening, where maneuverability and compact size enhance usability in tight spaces.
