I will be purchasing a new tractor next year, either a TC55 or TN60/70 or possibly a JD 5320 or 5420. Was wondering what the disadvantages would be to purchasing a new tractor with smaller diameter R1 tires? For instance, instead of getting rear tires of say 16.9-28 or 16.9-30, what about ordering rears of 16.9-24? This would also call for a less wide tire in the front: 8.3-24 vs 9.5-24 or 11.2-24 in front.
The advantage I see would be a lower center of gravity for the tractor, which I believe would be a plus. Other than a lower overall weight, would there be any other disadvantages?
Thanks,
