Tires Diff wheels and tires for 4310?

[Westonium]

The rainy season is coming and I have been increasingly curious about what would be required for me to swap wheels and tires for something with more traction. I have the big and wide R4s and frankly they just don't cut it with my steep hillsides.

It's great that they don't tear up the ground and all, but that doesn't help me much if I really need to get into a pasture and dig a hole. The R4s become mud-slicked in a few seconds on some of the heavy-clay moderate slopes near the barn. A friend with a Jeep laughed hysterically as he quickly demonstrated how easily he could drive up the same slope.

I would consider getting chains too, but I like the idea of a different set of wheels/tires better. I'd like to increase the offset so they stick out farther too if that is possible. I haven't rolled my tractor yet, but making any turns on the hillsides it is a white-knuckled and gluteous maximus clenching experience.

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

Sounds to me like you need R1 tires and a new set of rims. Your manual should list the proper sizes/ratios's to work with the MFWD.

I looked for that once in my manual, but I will check the FAQ link to the online copy of the manual to be sure.

It sure seems like something they should tell you.

EDIT:
This is what is listed in the manual

11.2-24 4PR R1 TI
or
Available Model 4310 and 4410 12.4-24 6PR R1 TI

Can someone decipher this for me?

12.4 is the width. 24 is the height of the wheel. 6PR is 6 ply. R1 is ag or bar tread. T1 I beleive is rating for the soil type that it will be used in. Maybe wrong not sure.Looked on Goodyear site, but they sold their ag tire business to Titan.

11.2 width. 24 wheel height. 4PR 4ply . R1 ag tread. T1 soil type
