MF30 Fat Wheels

[DrWazzock]

As above. We have 11/12.4 x 28 tyres on 9" rim width.
I really need the fatter tyres but can't remember if these also need wider rims.
Anyway, if anybody has got a set to sell, i'd be interested.

13-24 will be 14.9x24 won't they? Plenty of tractors around 100hp with that size on the front, just need adaptor plates in the centre.

And have a set of adapter plates , that fit ,mf 135 size hub to any 10 stud tractor front wheel ,so can put big tractor front wheels on back of small tractors

Why do you need wider tyres?
You will get a wider piece of bare land around the outside of the field.

To stop it from bogging down.

Thank you for that kind offer. I am going to try it as is, and I’ll be in touch if it won’t travel.

I seem to remember you have a Lamborgini tractor, quite a few of them had the same stud pattern on the front wheels as a Mf 135.

@JLTate has the market cornered but the MF 135 owners are mad for them.

Now there’s a thought. Maybe I can do a deal with the lad I sold the MF135 skid unit to out of my donor Cyclone.
I do not see the need for megabucks to change hands.

Fat wheels will just pick up more mud , my mf30 wasn't the best in wet conditions

You may well be right Bob. I am just casting about for inspiration, when the honest truth now is it’s probably best left till spring unless we get a miraculous dry spell. One year we only got 4mm of rain from now till a Christmas.

They are the best in the wet

Just a note for the record. Drill is working fine on the standard wheels. Not sure the wider tyres add anything but mean you can’t get the winding handle in to calibrate.
