choosing the right farm tractor tire
what you need to know before you buy
before you buy, you should know you tire size your carrying capacity
bias versus radial and others buying options
a tire size is located on the side wall of the tractor tire
there are usually two sets of numbers
tire width
sidewall to sidewall and the rim diameter
for example thirteen point six by twenty four
the tire is thirteen point six inches wide and then diameter is twenty four
inches
if the tire is biased, then there will be an "X" before the twenty-four
it's the tire is radial, there will be an "R" before the 24
the size of the tractor and workload determines the weight requirements of the
tires
or the tire ply rating
many farm tractors come in six ply and up to 12 ply
the higher the ply ratings...the more weight carrying capacity of the tire
A tires ply rating is found on the sidewall of the tire
biased tires are the less expensive tire option
compared to a radial tire
these tires have more durable sidewalls and are less prone to bruising from
stumps and rocks
radial tires are the more expensive choice. With the higher prices comes
a smoother ride, longer tread life, and less soil compaction.
