Wow! Which cost most, the tractor or the wheels?
I'd always get a flat on the inside tire.

But if you did find out you wouldn't want it to be the inner tire! |

Re: got tires?
Why does this rig need so many tires? Did the article on agtalk discuss it?

Re: got tires?
Roy,
No connected article just a pic someone took of equipment on a local dealer lot.
The reason for the tires is flotation. However w/ all that material in contact w/ the ground Id also think it would give some increase in traction.

Mornin Roy,
Ill bet soil compaction has something to do with it ! Just a guess of course from a non farmer !
