General Wheel, Tire, and Tread Guidelines

RXA0090775-UN-13SEP06

A - Clearance between inner wheel and fender

B - Clearance between inside of drive wheels

C - Minimum clearance between tire centerlines

Wheels are installed on the other side of the axle to obtain a wider setting range by changing the rim positions. Install wheels on the other side of the tractor, making sure that the correct direction of tire rotation is maintained.

IMPORTANT: Tires must have at least 25 mm (1 in.) clearance with fenders (A). Distance between tires must be at least 1070 mm (42 in.), with tires at equal distances from tractor centerline (B).

Minimum tread settings are specified to provide sufficient clearance to fuel tank and fender.

A minimum clearance (C) of 1524 mm (60 in.) between tire centerlines must be maintained.

Check for adequate clearance between implement and rear tires.

Do NOT mix radial and bias-ply tires on the same axle.

Drive and dual tires mounted on the same axle should all be inflated to the same pressure.

Cast wheels are used inside and steel wheels on the outside on tractors with duals.

Over-inflating radial tires reduces machine performance. Using the correct inflation pressures will result in optimum tractive performance.

CAUTION: Avoid injury and unsufficient tractor stability. Never operate the tractor with single tires having tread width less than 1520 mm (60 in).

IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 2800 mm (110 in.) between single tires for pulling heavy loads.
