[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 763323, member: 2653"] About a year and a half ago I had the right front rim crack on my Ford 6710. It has a front end loader, and I use it to move bales and work with a bucket as well. This past week the left rim cracked and "imploded"; pulling itself off of the hub. Is the tractor trying to tell me that I'm lifting too much weight, or maybe I need bigger rims/tires? I currently have 7.5-16's on the front. The rims are 5" wide rims. Could this be too small? This is a 2 wheel drive tractor, but with a bale on the front end loader and one on the back, it's loaded doen bringing hay to the cows. It doesn't bog down, though, and pulls a 15' batwing with no problems. By the way; If anyone remembers this tractor- it's the one with the hydraulic leak/transfer box - it turns out that the last person to rebuild it did a poor job and put the wrong size o rings and did not assemble it correctly. Hence the constant leaking. Since then, the hydraulics have been fine! [/QUOTE]
