That sounds like the answer! have you got a link??

Reading your other posts have you bought the 6010 or just looking still?

If it's a main dealer purchase you should be able to ask if they have any larger wheels / tyres to suit.

Don't you need to go taller @Beefman75 or will wider do you? You could go wider with a lower profile tyre to maintain the same circumference?

Im looking at one in a dealers, so wanted to know what I was talking about before I asked if they could be changed

Could put on wider and taller 34 i.e. 18.4 x 34 and wider fronts to match would negate the need fir new rims

Think I'm going to go for 18.4 x 34's as they are as tall as 16.9x38's and have a bigger footprint. Next dilemma is Trellborgs or BKT's at £750 less??!!

BKT know a few folk round here that have Put them on and they seam a good tyre.

Are you sure about that?
I don't think 18.4 34 are near as tall as 16.9 38
If it helps I have a tractor with 16.9 34 and 13.6 24
I'm swapping to 16.9 38 and 13.6 28

18.4x34s are 33mm lower and have a rolling circumference 127mm less than 16.9x38s according to BKT. Whether this matters depends on the size of the front tyres and the interaxle ratio.

am no expert but if you have for example 600/65-38 you need 480/65-28 at the front.
The widths can be more or less but the other two numbers can stay the same & most cert the last numbers.
Got 650/65-52 with 540/65-30 aswell on farm

I'm no expert either, but you're wrong.
Second number is aspect ratio of sidewall height as a % of tyre width. It's the combination of the first 2 digits that's crucial to denote tyre height.
It's a science, but a simple one.

Oooppps i meant 42" above no 52

Put 540/65 R34's on and leave the front alone

Why not 540/65 R34? Same height as 16.9 but nearly 22" wide. Fine if you've already got 15" rims but might be a bit wide for 14"

Thought I'd post a before and after photo of the tractor I bought with its new tyres.

What size have you gone for?

What size have you gone for?

Look like 380/85R24 so back ones could be 480/85R34?
