Check out the wear pattern on this tire.  Newer JD 5100E cab tractor with loader, less than 500 hours.  Why is one whole side of the tread wearing so much with little to no wear on the other side of the treads?

Shitloads of positive camber to make steering easier.

or

Stop Ricky Bobbying that thing and stop doing circles.

What a piece of crap, I'll give you $500 for it. Looks out of alignment.

Just now thinking about it, you might be on to something there.  One of our main pieces of equipment is an offset hay mower which requires all right hand turns.

The way that front tire is kicked out (camber) looks fucky.

Front tire? Yeah, those are necessarily the best quality. Had a few separations. I've also got one that eats front wheel bearing seals on one side. We've replaced it so many times, we're considering replacing the entire assembly. If there's a weak part to JD tractors, it's the front end on the 4wd models.

I don't know about OP's tractor, but most tractors out there have a ton of positive camber to help steer.

Do you leave your MFWD on during road travel or hard surface work?

Probably should flip rubber and wear off the other side.
I haven't seen that much wear with only 500 hours. Constant pavement miles?

Just apply more front weight until the tires are straight vertical, to make it wear even.
Bad alignment, not easily fixed.

Are they loaded?


Our 5425 JD (not much different then your 5100e)  had front loaded tires initially.  Wiped out the first set of front tires in about 500 hours.

Check wheel alignment and air pressure, should be in your owners manual.
