General Wheel, Tire, and Tread Guidelines

Reverse wheels on axles to provide a wider range of settings by changing rim position. Maintain correct direction of tire rotation by moving each wheel to opposite side of tractor.

CAUTION: Prevent personal injury and tractor instability. Never operate with single tires having tread width less than 1520 mm (60 in.).

IMPORTANT: Tires must have at least 25 mm (1 in.) clearance with fenders (A). Distance between tires must be at least 1015 mm (40 in.) with tires equal distances from tractor centerline (B).

With sway blocks in upper position (sway allowed), minimum distance between tires must be 1090 mm (43 in.) to prevent interference.

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

Check for adequate clearance between implement and rear tires.

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

Inflation pressure may be set as low as 40 kPa (0.4 bar) (6 psi), if high quality (natural rubber) tubes are used. Lower quality tubes require the minimum inflation pressure of 80 kPa (0.8 bar) (12 psi). Direct questions regarding tube quality to your tire dealer.
