New tractor - what tyres?

[gone]

In short if you want a flex sidewall Michelin on your tractor the best 710 on the 724 is therefore the 42" xeobib

Yes

I had problems when I went into it on an mf tractor it seemed all too easy for them to say no they don't fit when they did all along. So don't always believe them I would of done if I hadn't of asked on here so queried them and I eventually got to the bottom of it. Went for 710 70 38 mich but only the standard range multibib I think.

My new tractor (ex demo) has got multibib`s on, michelin say I can run them at 12lb where I ran my trelliborgs at 18lb, so are these the flexi sidewalls aswell??

I am sure you are all correct. But back to basics with radial tyres. With sod all load except the weight of tractor or machine there esits a pressure such that no deformation occurs. At for debate puposes this equals on solid ground a distance of rim to ground of 30 units of distance.
Secondly one arrives at same point on solid ground with maximum weight including seeds fertilisers etc or linkage mounted stuff. etc.

Set pressure such that 15 units ( 50% ) is new reading. I suggest this is de-facto the reality.

Yes they are flex but older tech flex now, if they were xeobib you could half those pressures again

Might i ask how the xeobibs on the 724's handle cart/haulage duties eg chasing with the big HAWE with a decent load of wheat? I am probably way off but always under impression the super flexible type tyre was for slower cultivations/top work vs machbibs type for general/ more haulage eg if cornering at speed due to having more flexible sidewalls could the tyre pull off the rim etc?

No problems yet and performance good, we do run slightly higher pressures for road cart work about 12 psi iirc but usually 6 or 8 psi job dependant

Only 500 hrs or so done yet though

What were the old xm108s I thought they took some beating they were very soft compared to the multibibs we have now
