FAQs
What is the maximum recommended speed for this wheel?
This wheel is intended for low-speed applications only and is not suitable for highway service. Specific maximum speed is not provided, but always operate at speeds appropriate for the machinery and terrain.
What is the load capacity of this wheel?
The maximum load capacity is 935lbs (424kg) at a tire pressure of 20 PSI.
What size axle does this wheel fit?
The wheel features a 25mm internal bore, thanks to the fitted 6205 ball bearings, and is designed to fit a 25mm axle.
How should I maintain the tyre pressure?
Maintain the tire pressure at 20 PSI. Regularly check the pressure to ensure it remains at the recommended level for optimal performance and safety.
Can this tyre be used on muddy ground?
While durable, the smooth tread is optimized for minimal ground disturbance on lawns and firm surfaces. It may offer less traction on very loose or muddy terrain compared to aggressive tread patterns.
What does '4ply' mean for the tyre?
'4ply' refers to the tyre's ply rating, indicating its strength and durability. A 4-ply rating means it has an equivalent of four layers of cords, providing good resistance to punctures and wear for its intended use.
Troubleshooting
Wheel is wobbly or unstable.
Check that the wheel is securely fastened to the axle and that any locking mechanisms are properly engaged. Ensure the axle itself is not damaged or bent.
Tyre is losing air.
Inspect the tyre for punctures or damage. Check the valve stem for leaks. Ensure the rim is not damaged and is properly seated against the tyre bead. Re-inflate to 20 PSI.
Difficulty fitting wheel onto axle.
Verify that the axle diameter is precisely 25mm and that there is no debris or damage to the axle or the wheel's bearing bore.
Excessive vibration during use.
Ensure the wheel is balanced. Check that the bearings are clean and rotating freely. Inspect the tyre for any uneven wear patterns or damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the existing hub on your equipment is compatible with a 25mm axle.
Align the wheel's 25mm bore with the axle and slide it into place.
Secure the wheel using appropriate locking mechanisms (e.g., cotter pins, lock nuts) as recommended by your equipment manufacturer.
Specialty Equipment: Karts, buggies, hay bobs, hay turners, tedders, and other small agricultural machinery requiring low-speed operation.
Axle Size: Requires a 25mm axle.
Care:
Tire Pressure: Maintain recommended tire pressure of 20 PSI for optimal performance and load capacity.
Cleaning: Clean the rim and tyre with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the tyre for wear and tear, and check the wheel bearings for smooth operation. Ensure the rim remains free of significant damage.
