Depends on the width of local roads and field gateways and how far their hinges protrude. It also depends very much on the type of work the tractor is expected to do. Lots of contractors and farmers will have these for multiple mowers, or hauling trailers where tyre wear is substantial per hour. The economics of various tyre sizes relative to the type of work they do is something that isn’t thought about enough. Most reviews tend to major on traction on arable farms rather than on more general farm work where the practicalities may be quite different.710's on rear and 600's on front would do them well. Maybe even 800's in the rear and 650'
It's so last season to plough in furrow, on land is the future.
Fit these tractors with 800’s around here and they would need a police escort on the road, or at least a registered front escort vehicle. Even with 710’s they would take up one side of the road and a quarter of the opposite side lane when set with a ‘normal’ track width.
Would 710/85R38 tyres even be a larger circumference than 650/65R42 tyres?
