General Wheel, Tire and Tread Setting Guidelines
Wheels are reversed 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 (A) with fenders. Distance (B) between tires must be at least 1070 mm (42 in.), with tires positioned an equal distance from tractor centerline.
Observe minimum spacing (C) between tire centers of 1524 mm (60 in.).
Check for adequate clearance between implement and rear tires.
Do not mix radial and bias-ply tires on same axle.
Drive tires 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 when installing duals.
Overinflating radial tires reduces machine performance. Using correct inflation pressures results in optimum traction performance.
CAUTION:
Prevent personal injury and tractors instability. Never operate with single tires having tread width less than 1520 mm (60 in.).
IMPORTANT:
Do not exceed 2800 mm (110 in.) between single tires when pulling heavy loads.
