Looking to get a new set of row crops for t6 180 with 1800 l mounted sprayer. Spuds in beds and cereals. Should I go for 13.6 s or 14.9 s?

Don't think I'll be putting them on the sprayer for a couple of days. Just want to make sure that 14.9s wouldn' be crabbing the spud rows. Especially when haulm topping.34 inch rows in 72 inch beds. Guess I'd have to block another drill coulter off too.

Might have a set of 14.9s off a john deere if they are any good. Will have a look in the morning if i still have them.

14.9r46 & 12.4r34 here, the narrower fronts make a big difference imo. (most 14.9 sets have 14.9r30 fronts) Sprayer runs on 13.6r48.
We
have 13.6r48&11.2r36 on an irrigator tractor - great ground clearance but too narrow for spraying - it soon slips into the row when carrying weight. (had it on fert spreader) Other irrigator tractor is on 13.6r38 -too low to ground.
We have a set of 16.9r46&14.9r32(I think) - ok for spraying spuds but too wide for cereals, and too wide for topping too, especially if wet.

11,2/32 fronts 11.2 /48 And 9,5/36 And 12,4/46 Fit new Holland’

Are you sure that's correct? 11.2r48 usually go with 9.5r36. (if wide rims 13.6r48&11.2r36 tyres make a good upgrade, did here anyway)
12.4r46 usually go with 11.2r32. Had a set on our old camel for a couple of years (8130MF)

I've been assured by the n h rep that a t6 180 with class 4 (heavy duty) front axle has the same hub and ratios as my t7 200 which has a shorter wheelbase than the higher hp t7s.
I'e either got to have 13.6×48 on the back and 12.4x32 on the front or 14.9 x 46 on the back with 14.9×30 on front. Don't know why the 14.9s can't be matched with a narrower front.

Maybe should of just put the wheel sizes ,our beet drill wheels are 12-4 46 11-2 /32 Will edit post with the wheel sizes he gave me ,suppose it depends on axle ratio what fits
