Tires AG tires on backwards

[beenthere]

My neighbor reverses his front tires in the winter to get better traction when blowing snow.
Makes sense when you think about it.

Yep, especially if the blower is in the back and going in reverse.

It wasn't making sense.....

When a tractor wheel is rotated outward the lugs are loosened from the slide rail on the rim and the clutch is engaged while applying the brake on the opposite side to be rotated. Most CUTS don't have this capability.

You are referencing power adjust wheels... That is for adjusting track width, important for row crop. Having nothing to do with tread pattern direction.


as mentioned earlier....Turf tires are always going the right direction...

My head is starting to hurt...I've decided to monitor my hour meter and drive forward for an hour and then back up for an hour...go back and forth like this all of the time and it shouldn't be a concern...plus, I'll probably get even tire wear! HA! HA! GENIUS!!!

But be careful to run at PTO speed or better or your hour meter may be off!
