Jinma JM-354 tall tires for row cropping

[bjr]

Has anyone ever experimented or actually used taller tires on a 4 wheel drive Chinese tractor? I would like some more clearance when I'm cultivating corn? I was thinking like 28" on rears and 20" on front and only use the low gear section of the transmission as I know the road speed would be great. For that matter is there any smaller tractors made 20-50 hp range to row crop with thats got greater clearance? I know you gotta keep a ratio in mind to keep the transmission gears happy. bjr

What size is on it now? My 284 has 24's rear bad 16's front. I would think a 354 would have about the size you are looking for from the factory.

I've seen pictures of Jinmas that are made specifically for row cropping with high-clearance drive trains that get them way up off the ground. I don't know if 4WD is an option on those,though. Never seen them advertised in the US, either.

I already own the tractor and yes they are 24's in the rear and 16's in the front. Just wondering anyone else has tried raising one or lifting one? bjr
