New Tyres for 250hp tractor

[laoisfarmer]

I'm looking for 650/85/38 600/70/30 what's yours

Tried mitas sft on the last tractor very noisy on road and poor grip in the field..... not going there again....

Have mitas sft and will agree they are noisey on the road but I would be impressed with them in the field.

I have 710 70 38 and 600 65 28 on the front , the front are not wearing even , I had it in the dealers last week for a service and they checked the alinement and tyre pressure , they all agreed that the front tyre wear was not good enough .

Had the same problem with the fronts!!!!!! Told me we had to carry the front weights to make the tyres flex more????

Got a good deal on a set of Vredestein Traxion’s from Terry Elsey tyres last week. Think they were on offer.

I never need the front weight on , but it’s a bit stupid to claim that the Tyres will wear less with more weight on them.

More weight for less wear ??

About 12 minutes in they get to the point, and that’s from the Michelin man

Does your dealer have a laser wheel alignment rig? I recently got a tyre specialist to look at mine with the proper gear, it was 10mm out. My friend brought his 1 year old Newholland with 700 hrs for checking, it was 35 mm out.
Tyre man said the worst he had ever done was 40mm out. He said most tractors are usually out and dealers only use tape measures for wheel alignments.

Very easy to make a tracking gauge , 2 bits of light box section telescoping together with a few inches on the end at 90 degrees. Then a bolt to nip it tight. I set them parallel or a few mm toe in. Easy job then.. I see the new fastrac has a sticker in the cab that the wheel alignment has been over a machine..

I used round as it was there, box be better.. work off concrete and put a chalk mark as close as poss halfway up the rim with a tape.Front and back. Measure to that mark with tool touching the rim not tyre..

Sorry for being a bit thick, but can you explain better how you use the measuring tool
We have a 50k tractor that does mainly road work and is wearing one of the front tyres off badly so could do with checking the tracking

Why nobody mentions Trelleborg? Put a set of them on my tractor this spring. The depth of pattern is huge, maybe it's a new design. They ride very soft and grip in the field is awesome. Need to take care of the turns though as they do make some damage on the soil. Would not like to use them on grass

My vote would be the vredestiens for expensive tyres but ceat tyres look good for budget tyres with nice tread design

I’ve a set on my tractor in work wearing really well and personally find they ride way better than the Michelin’s multibibs that had to come off as the side walls cracked on the rears, they are also allot quieter too

Simply measure from inside Left to inside right rim halfway up. Keep adjusting tool and you will see which way to turn track rods. The tool is to compare front and back of rim..

We tried the 800 series.. wore pretty fast then the side walls cracked at each lug. The lugs are pretty fat when worn down a bit, so bad for gripping on wet grass. Maybe the latest trelles are better but still fat lugs
