Backhoe Tire Replacement
Mobile backhoe tire replacement for front and rear axle positions across Central Florida. We come to the job site with the right rubber.
Backhoe loaders run two different tire sizes — the front loader tires are much smaller than the rear hoe tires — and both positions get their share of abuse. The R4 industrial tread handles soft ground, gravel, and road surfaces without tearing them up. Rear tires on a full-size backhoe like a John Deere 310 run 19.5L-24; fronts are typically 10.5/80-18. When a rear blows in the middle of a utility excavation in Lake County, we drive out with hydraulic floor jacks and the tire equipment to handle those large diameters, and get the machine back in the trench.

Calls We Get Every Week
Utility excavation in Lake County
A John Deere 310 backhoe blows its rear 19.5L-24 tire in the middle of a water line excavation in Clermont. We come to the job site with hydraulic floor jacks rated for the machine's rear weight and get it back in the trench the same afternoon.
Front loader tire on a road project
A Case 580 backhoe's front 10.5/80-18 tire goes flat on a Volusia County road project. The crew can't work with the machine off-balance. We're there within two hours and swap the front tire on-site.
Pre-project equipment yard check
A contractor pulling two backhoes off his Apopka yard for a month-long job wants them checked before transport. We find one rear tire with a sidewall injury that wouldn't have survived a week on the site.
Common Backhoe Tires Questions
Why do backhoes have different front and rear tire sizes?
The rear hoe tires carry the most machine weight and stabilization load, so they're much larger. The front loader tires handle steering and lighter bucket loads. Getting the wrong size on either position is a handling and stability issue.
What tread pattern is best for backhoe tires in Florida?
R4 industrial tread is the standard for most Florida applications — it handles soft ground, gravel yards, and road surfaces without tearing up pavement. R1 agricultural tread is used on farm-focused units.
Can you change a backhoe tire with the machine loaded in a trench?
Sometimes, but it depends on access and stability. We assess on-site and decide the safest approach. In some cases, the machine needs to be repositioned before we can safely change a tire.
How long does a backhoe rear tire replacement take?
A rear tire on a full-size backhoe like a John Deere 310 or Case 580 typically takes 1.5–2.5 hours due to the size and weight involved. Front tires are faster.
Do you stock John Deere and Case backhoe tire sizes?
We stock or can source the common sizes for John Deere 310, 410, and 710 series, and Case 580 and 590 series backhoes. Let us know your machine model when you call.
