TIRES AND ARTICULATION BLOCKS

PROPER TIRE SELECTION

Selecting the proper size and type of tires is

important in achieving maximum tractor

efficiency. Various sizes and types of tires are

available for your tractor. Refer to Section 1 of

this manual for approved tire sizes by tractor

model number.

If a specific size of tire or tire configuration is not

listed under a particular model, do not attempt to

install that size tire.

The tires selected for your tractor must be able

to support the weight of the tractor and

equipment. The tires must also be able to

provide adequate tire traction to utilize the

tractor engine horsepower and turn it into useful

drawbar horsepower.

You will have to adjust the ballast, tire pressure

and tractor weight split between the front and

rear axles for various loads and conditions to

achieve the best ride and performance.

Always maintain the proper air pressure in the

tire to carry the load. Do not over inflate radial or

bias ply tires. Radial tires will work with LOWER

air pressures. Radial tires will show up to 20%

sidewall deflection or bulge when properly

inflated.

The force that enables the tires to drive the

tractor must be transmitted through the tire

sidewalls. The tires work best when all the tires

on a given axle are working at the same rate.

Think of them like a shock absorber; they must

respond the same way to share the load equally.

Factors Determining Best Tire Performance

Good Performance

Proper air pressure for the load

Proper sidewall deflection

8%-15% wheel slip

Proper tire size for expected load

Less than 50% fill of liquid ballast

Maintaining equal tire pressure in all tires on a

given axle

Poor Performance

High or low air pressure

Stiff sidewalls

High or low wheel slip

Overloaded or underloaded tire

Excessive liquid calcium in a tire

Treating tires on an axle differently

Bias ply tires are rated using a ply rating and

radial-type tires are rated using a * rating on the

sidewall of the tire. Refer to Section 5 of this

manual for information on load carrying capacity

based on ply or * rating.

As a general comparison, the following chart

details the relationship between ply and *

ratings of bias and radial tires.

Bias Ply Rating

Radial * Equivalent

***

Refer to “Ballasting” later in this section for

proper tractor weight procedures once the tire

size has been selected.
