Rowcrop tyre questions

[Chae1]

Looking at rowcrop tyres online.

Our current trackwidth on tramlines is 80" how can you tell if rowcrops will run on tractor at that width?

Other thing is, what brands of tractor share the same stud spacing, stud size and centre hub?

Looks like Claas and MF do, any others?

I know I'm behind the times using tramlines and using rowcrops! Should really be on 710s and putting in tramlines with autosteer.

I know weve had some john deere rims in the past on a mf. Trouble is even in mf tractor range different models all have different size hubs and different number of studs. Always got ours from peter shepherd, take some measurements, send him them and usually he has something. What size were you thinking? Were on 340’s but thinking of going to a 420 and not swap them as often. But my personal view is to shut another pipe off the drill and run 650’s all year.

On 380s on Fastrac at moment. But looking at shifting it and spraying with a tractor.

Would like to stick to 380s.

speak to brocks wheels and tyres. they are helpful with the correct width, height and track width of rowcrops. fendt fit jd and class fit nh i think

sam moreton (farmers tyre)is good.

Agrigear in Cavan sent me a measurement guide. Basically tell them what tractor, measurements of current rims and what you’d like your track width to be.

Lwb T7 NH will need a 10stud rear,fronts same on lwb and swb T7's,rears same fitting as bigger fendt,JD,possibly class,fronts pretty much only NH/case.I would go for a heavy duty adjustable rim and then if you change breed of tractor you will only need other centres.

I’d go 480 rears 380 fronts as tall as possible like tatty guys use
Would be able to tow a loaded trailer better with them if you had too

Do you mean how do you know what width a fixed centre rowcrop would make the tractor when fitted? Lots of measuring! What size tractor? We have a 6430 jd out at 2m on adjustable rims; I’m pretty sure it’s as wide as they go. Our 7530 is on fixed standard rims set at 2m.

I'm on 420 shutting off 3 coulters at 12.5cm spacing and never touch a bit of crop even when we just shut off 2 it hardly run owt down

Have a set of 480x46's and fronts to match,tyres down though came off a lwb case

Why not just get adjustable rims

Currently on 320/85R32 on a case self propelled but want a set off intermediate / row crop tyres, as this year has really bad and only thinking of taking the 600 off. what ever I do I will need rims so what’s thought on 420 vs 380

 

[Hard Graft]

Why not just get adjustable rims

My understanding is adjustable centre are not as strong and row crops are harder on rim. And fixed centre are cheaper

Modern adjustable rims are strong with the ring of steel design

 

[KB6930]

My understanding is adjustable centre are not as strong and row crops are harder on rim. And fixed centre are cheaper

A few local farms had issues cracking 42 inch fixed rims some changed onto adjustable and never had a problem again

Everyone should drive more slowly on row crops, regardless of the design, but plenty don't.

There are plenty of s/h row crops about. Get right wheel/tyres and get different centres bought to fit your tractor if not compatible..

Do you do much other work on the 420’s? Can end up changing our wheels twice in a day so want something as an all rounder

They were bought for lifting spuds and de stoning I've done the odd bit of ploughing but that tractor doesn't do ploughing now so they're only on for the last application of fert and the mixer wagon in the winter now for a narrow passage.
