John Deere 6500L Extra Tire Notes

Tire size note The John Deere 6500L uses 9.5-15 on both the front and rear in this data, so the same tire-size details apply to both axles: bias/imperial tire, 9.5 in section width, 15 in rim
Ballast note For the John Deere 6500L rear 9.5-15 tires, the ballast figure captured in the answer is 6,500 L. Liquid ballast capacity can change by tire brand, fill percentage, wheel setup and ballast fluid type
Front/rear matching note The John Deere 6500L data shows the same tire size front and rear (9.5-15). That usually makes the visible front/rear size relationship simpler, but approved tire and wheel combinations should still be checked before mixing brands or changing sizes
Official information note
