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.

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 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.

Check for adequate clearance between implement rear tires.

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

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

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

CAUTION: Prevent personal injury. Axle is under accumulator pressure. Securely support axle, using jack stands of sufficient capacity, before adjusting wheels. Do NOT support or lift tractor from center of axle.

Raise only one side of axle at a time and secure with a jack stand. Wheel adjustment should only proceed after both sides of axle are secured.
