After learning of the rim change i tgink this is now unlikely, would you go for a omnibib or a bkt, think more of the soil than roadwork capabilities?
I should of said road work is not a huge part of this tractors roll i would estimate that it does 80% field work, want something that floats grips and last most of all!
used to run 600s. and 650 s.michlen 108,s years ago were good tyres lasted quiet well and gripped pretty good. had trellyborg 580.70.s that did quiet well as well ..lot people now adays on 650 75 . or 650 85 . lot stronger..Have you ever run xm108 and if so how do they compare
Cheers think we will probably be leaning towards bkt as heard nothing really bad about them for the money!OK. Just for reference I had two tractors on 108’s and both did about 7500 hrs before they were worn out, properly bald. A mate of mine said they were really worn out 1000 hrs before I changed them but it’s sometimes handy having a tractor with not much tread on for hedge cutting etc. if you have a choice. One of the tractors has Multibibs on and has clocked another 4000 hrs and it has 35mm of tread left on the rears. The other has BKT’s and it’s clocked 2000 hrs and has 50mm of tread left. The third has clocked 5000 hrs from new and has the original Multibibs on with 32mm of tread left. To my way of thinking ( based on tread wear slowing as depth decreases) the Multibibs are going to last longer than the 108’s but the BKT’s look better value when you consider that you can buy 2 1/2 sets for the price of the Multibibs.
One factor you ought to take into consideration is how long you intend to keep the tractor, for example if you were going for 12000 hrs ( say ) the Multibibs would be getting worn by that time, if you’d stuck the BKT’s on although you’d have bought another set in the mean time you’d be trading in a tractor on fairly new tyres which would add to its value, and cost you less over those hours.
