4.30 WHEELS AND TYRES
•
Tyre play vital role in transportation and agriculture operations.
•
It is the most important factor in the efficient performance of tractor it should be used only
as per company recommendation.
•
Here we will discuss only pneumatic tyre.
•
Regularly check that the front and rear wheel nuts are fully tightened.
•
Torque as per specification: Rear wheel is 210 Nm and front wheel is 110 Nm.
•
Tyre pressure must be checked and adjusted before using the tractor. Make further checks at
regular intervals.
•
Tractors are supplied by the manufacturer with tires inflated at higher pressures then
recommended.
•
The pressure should be adjusted afterwards by the user according to values given in the
tables of tire manufacturers and to the use anticipated for the tractor.
•
If these simple rules are carefully followed, they will ensure maximum working life for your
tires.
•
If you notice any cuts in the tread or side walls, have them vulcanized immediately to avoid
further damage to the tires.
•
Avoid parking the tractor on floors which are covered with oil or diesel fuel. Also avoid
parking the tractor where the tires are permanently exposed to direct sunlight, especially if
the tractor is not going to be used for some time.
In general, tractor is considered for two types of work:
•
Work on soft soil where maximum adhesion is needed. In this case there will be use of
lowest pressure compatible with the load carried.
•
Work on hard ground and roads, towing etc. In this case there will be use of maximum
pressure.
