Tyre question.

[le bon paysan]

Going to replace the front tyres on the loader tractor. Do I fit them as normal or reversed. Seen some with reversed tread , does it make a difference?

Should help reversing out of mucky stuff. Hell,if you don't like it just swap the wheels to the opposite side

Why would u do that? Surely that would affect ur traction?

 

[wdah/him]

the tire reversed is supposed to reduce wear, cant say i see a benefit

My old senator had one tyre fitted the wrong way round by the previous owner, it would spin and the other kept gripping. Massive difference between the two.

Fitted on reversed will reduce wear and increase traction. The downside is that they don’t clean themselves as well. If your tractor is used mainly for fieldwork in the summer and loading duties in the winter it probably makes sense to reverse them. If you use it for any amount of cultivating then I wouldn’t. The rear tyres on my combine were fitted reversed from the factory and I haven’t turned the round.
