My he va rolls have worn the out side of the tyre bold but stil lot of tread over the rest. Which way is the tyre running out of line can't see by eye. Same with Jd 7530 the one front tyre has worn the out side a lot more than the rest which way is it running out

We have same problem with 2 nh at work. One came brand new and has totally ruined the left tyre on the outside only, right tyre still good. Had a measure and they are toeing out a good half inch but id have thought toeing in would have been the cause. One tractor on bkt and one on kleber. Done the same to the row crops aswell. Totally ruins the look of the tractor

One tyre on a tractor would point towards one track rod link longer than the other?
Or excessive play in a joint, its self steering ............

We were told (back in the day)
Excessive toed out (front pointing away from each other = inside thread wear
toed in = outside tyre wear
Something bent on the rolls?

Whilst not familiar with your rolls,ive got a set of cousins sidewinders and the rear trailing disc beams have to have a 6 degree extra ofset when being towed to allow them to open up when being reversed.thats96degrees from the front roll when closed in transport position for each wing.i hope you are not confused by my description

Four wheel drive, toe out, two wheel drive, toe in. Fwd pulls the wheels straight, two pushes them straight.In work, are most of your turns one way, if so, thats almost certain to be the cause the cause of the wear. Incorrect toe in/out will wear both the same, incorrect toe out on turns will wear one tyre.

Can be caused by road camber if you do a lot of road driving.

We'd same problem with nh. The adjustments for toe in aren't very precise so quite easy to go to far other way, dealer told me.

As for rollers just swap tyres round so it's wearing opposite side.

swapped tyres over on the rolls But about 2yrs to late and it popped the other day. Next time I'll swap it soon as it starts to wear. It's not worth altering the stub shaft ruin the look of the paint work
