I've fitted 24" rim used tyres a few times with no bother but this 28incher almost has me beaten.
It's a 2008 mitchelin xeobib 520 60R28.
Obviously the bead has to sit in the central recess of the hub but try as I might I can't ratchet strap the bugger down using chocks so I can lever in the...
1st cut of silage in but ground was softish in places...nevermind the steep bits!
Fendt 724 on new Trelleborg TM1060 710/60/42 and 600/60/30 and were cutting up the sods on delivery pressure...25psi! Dropped the rears to 16psi rear and 20psi front (870kg front weight)
Forecast isn't looking too...
Currently pricing up tyres to replace a set of Michelin Axiobibs. 800x70R38 rears and 600x70R30
Waiting on some prices back. Any other brand I should be looking at? currently got prices in for Michelin, BKT, Vredestein.
Have decided to steer clear of Trelleborg because of them going at the...
We are after a new set of tyres and have been quoted the thick end of 14k for a set of Trelleborg and 8k for a set of BKT.
But are they cheap for a reason? The tractor will do minimal road work and only does chaser bin and rolling, probably 400 hours a year and we are hoping a new set will last...
Hi just joined but have been looking in for a while. It’s my first post and I’m looking for some advice please. So I’m covering 400ac on my own alongside some farm diversifications. The arable is very much part time though. The system I’m running is I have a contractor doing combining, hedge...
Xeobib 600/60r28 or MachXBib 750/50r26 will work, which would you go with? Needs to carry 1.5t front reeler that sticks well out from the front arms, so lot of weight over the front axle in soft ground conditions at slurry time. Tyre dealer strongly recommending Xeobibs, which would you go...
Whats minimum size tractor to handle such a rig? Looking to tread lightly for aut spraying, would have a bigger tractor available for spring work. Anyone know what lift capacity required?
I am looking at several second hand tractors all same model/ hp. Some have 710/60 x 42 & 600/60 x 30 & one has 650/75 x 38 & 600/65 x 28 tyres. Which would be the better tyre traction-wise for ploughing, sub-soiling, X-pressing etc. ?
We have a slightly smaller tractor on the 650/75 x 38 &...
Good evening. I am ploughing with 710mm rear tires and a lemken juwel 8 plough. Its a very nice piece of kit but some times i find difficult to match the furrows. I usually plough 16-18 inch width. I read somewhere that if you ploughing with wide tires you have to set the front furrow narrower...
Had some michelin 710 xobibs on a tractor that have worn to not alot after 3000 hours, usualy get at least 5000hrs on previous same tractor same tyres same work load. I think michelin are literally using there well known name to rob people now with there ridiculous prices and chocolate tyres...
Looking at a set Bridgestone VF 710 70 42. Not had any experience with VF tyres and choose is limited at its a new build tractor so only being offered Bridgestone or Michelin in VF. I could put a set of non VF 710s on and change them to a set of VF of my choice and sell the non VF ones
Is it better to squash down half the width 2” or twice the width 1”. It’s pretty wet so anything run on will suffer. The eradicators will dig out my wheelings to some extent.
Also they are big heavy barstewards that are an utter pain to get on and off, and often seem to be at the back of the...
Do many people buy tractor tyres on line? look reasonable prices. Which web site is best. Will obviously ring local suppliers as well but thought it was worth having some prices to bounce off them. Sadly need a few 😒
Have had a demo on 650 tyres and thinking it would be better on 710 s what have others got on theirs? Like the tractor and they have a few ex hire but all on 650s . Will be used mostly for ploughing and drilling. Thanks
What are people’s thoughts experiences of above? I know a few on here are running 650/60R38 how are you getting on with them?
They have slightly smaller diameter and sit a bit “lower” than 600/65R38 standard tires, has this been an issue, annoying for anyone. Have also read that you can...
