John Deere 6130R XeoBibs

[Sw beef farmer]

What are people’s thoughts experiences of above? I know a few on here are running 650/60R38 how are you getting on with them?
They have slightly smaller diameter and sit a bit “lower” than 600/65R38 standard tires, has this been an issue, annoying for anyone. Have also read that you can physically fit 650/65R38 multibibs on, does this mean that a 710/60R38 XeoBib would fit?
Comments and experiences welcomed
Thanks in advance.

Neighbour of mine has 900/65/32 on a 130r think is on 600/60/28s on the front

not needing to be a wife as that, just wondering what will physically fit and works in practice. Thanks

I have them here on a 6130r, yes it annoys me that they don't fill the space available but in reality it hasnt caused any problems, they really do tread lightly, I use it for combi drilling on ploughed light land and they travel very well

@Ducati899 also has them

 

[Ducati899]

Yep no complaints from me,other than they look annoying small under the wing

Thanks, do you both alter pressure much to get most benefit from top work? Any problems with sitting lower, or speed etc. @DieselRob you have tall row crops, do you notice massive difference in height, speed? Or not too much.
Anyone with 650/65R38 Multibibs on, looks like they are slightly bigger (diameter/circumference) than 710/60R38 XeoBibs would be? If anyone had photos of what various sizes looked like that would be great. Thanks

650/65r38 multibib is 1819mm, 710/60r38 xeobib is 1814mm, well on paper anyway. 710/60r38 wil fit a 6130r without modifications, I posted one on 900/50R42 which is the same height as a 650/65r42 and 710/70r38, will need some work to make that fit though.
I have my 6910 on 710/60r38 and 600/60r28 xeobibs and I love them.

Shame there’s no r24 option to match the 710/60 r38, just think the 6130r’s don’t look right with 28’s on the front

Each to their own, but don't forget that a first gen 6130r is heavier than a 6910, and a second gen 6130r even heavier than a 6930. And the 6930 could be fitted on 650/65r42...

What does a 6930 weigh?

I run at 13psi for everything apart from rolling which I go down to 7psi, it treads so lightly I sometimes struggle to see my wheelings for pre em spray! On row crops I think it does 60kph gps speed, only did it once to try it, they're a bit too narrow for that speed imo

Thanks all for reply’s. Just to confirm @Gerbert , you know off/ have seen/ driven 6130R on running on 650/65R38 with no issues and enough room @ steps diesel tank etc?
@DieselRob presume your Row Crops are pretty tight fit, what size are they? Does it feel significantly higher on them or not enough to really notice difference from your Xeobibs.
Any pictures of above setups would be much appreciated. Many thanks

Great Tyres we ran them as a test for Michelin ours were 710-42 and 600-30 did a lot of roadwork and Slurry spreading at low pressure and more then 8000 hours on them before we sold the tractor they were on and they were still 40%

My neighbours one on 650/65r38.

And one at the dealers on 900/50r42.

Dealer said the 650/65r38 fits without any issues. So I don't have any personal experience, just saying wat they told me.

 

[Sw beef farmer]

Thanks. The one with the loader looks like it would float on anything!!

@Gerbert what work are you referring to them needing above? Looking at 700/70r38 for our 6130r.
Thanks

 

[Gerbert]

I remember a mechanic said the cab needed raising a little, that's all I know.

 

[Sw beef farmer]

I am going for 710/60 R38, there are going to be best fit for us just trying to decide on offset for rims, does anyone have any opinion on what minimum clearance is ok between inside of tyre and tractor. Thanks

So got new wheels and tyres fitted today. Look great, although more in need of hovercraft at moment!!! ( before and after)
