Re: What\'s With Tractor Wheel Sizes
Part of it is $$$$$ On my 2wd Farmall, those smaller skinny front tires are like ~$60/ea, compared to $250/ea for the bigger rear tires.
Also, even with power steering, it would be harder to steer big tires on the fron of a tractor.
Larger front tiers would stick out further when you turn, ppossibly knocking around crops.
