Loading front tires on MFWD?

[PhilY]

The reason that there is a concern about loading front tires, is when the tractor has a FEL. If you are going to be carrying around a lot of weight up there and hit a bump, the tires won't have any give to them. Normally, with just air in the tires, they can flex a bit. If the fronts are loaded, then there may not be enough flex. This means that extras stresses will be transferred from the road through the tires and up into the axle and front axle mount. It could also mean a tire blow out if carrying a full load and hit a bad pot hole due to no flex. Side wall could split open or the bead pop off the rim. Not saying all of these will happen, but they could with a heavy FEL load. If there's no FEL attached and the tractor wasn't be roaded, I probably wouldn't worry about any negatives from loading the fronts.

Ok, so that makes sense. Non FEL okay, but not on FEL. Thanks.

I'm going to call my dealer tomorrow to find out if I can run 1 size bigger front tire (11.2x24) if so I will try them first but if not I will load the 9.5x24's
