That’s the oneThe bloke on youtube, "Its a farming life for me" had a new JD with tyres that measured narrow. I think he said there had been a problem with the new moldings and they had stopped making them.
I've done it a fair bit and it's ok.That's what new Holland has, 650/75/38s.
Plenty people say you can plough with 710s and no28 kv boards.
I've never got on with them, and my ploughings not fancy.

Yeah that's what the 85 used to look like too .Ours are 650/75r38 MachXBib so not exactly the same moulds but they do have noticeably straight sidewalls, not bulged like yours.

If they're taller,have you noticed any wind up,or are the fronts taller as wellYeah that's what the 85 used to look like too .
As I said before these are really narrow and a lot taller than the slightly older 85 series
No it's actually pretty good for that to be honest no clunk when the 4wd comes out on the road anyway.If they're taller,have you noticed any wind up,or are the fronts taller as well
When we had our valtra from new with trelleborgs it would jolt every time you released the brakes . BKT , smooth as silk now. I think tyre firms just make it up as they go alongNo it's actually pretty good for that to be honest no clunk when the 4wd comes out on the road anyway.
I'm just going off the extra drawbar clearance compared to another 215 at the dealer
Yeah I've had 1 6930 that was good for the wind up and others I've had and driven have been really bad .When we had our valtra from new with trelleborgs it would jolt every time you released the brakes . BKT , smooth as silk now. I think tyre firms just make it up as they go along
I'd say yours look like they used toThat’s my 650/85 38 same tractor as yours but was delivered in September last to Nz , so was built around maybe a year ago , View attachment 1171989View attachment 1171988
