RADIAL TRACTOR TIRES ANYONE?
Are your tractors tires worn? Are you thinking about replacing them soon? Then read about radials for your tractor. Most new tractors may come equipped with radial tires but if you are running conventional tires or have an older tractor you may want to consider some of the advantages of switching to radials.
Farm industry surveys show running radial back tires will provide a much smoother ride and longer wear. Most important especially on two wheal drive models is a major improvement in traction. The reason for this is most radials not only have deeper lugs but typically a radial tire inflated properly will look low on air but the slightly squashed out foot print provides more lugs on the ground and a shallower rut to climb out of. In fact the improvement in traction is such that in certain applications where you thought a four wheal drive tractor would be needed a two wheal drive tractor with rear radials
The tire industry claims radial tractor tires could improve the efficiency of your tractor by up to 20%. Based on a fuel savings of 10% while covering 20% more acreage and improved cut time of 11%.
The farm industry said owners who paid the extra $100 to $500 for radial tractor tires recovered this in anywhere from immediately to between two and five years.
