On a lot of compact tractors you get an option of R1, R3, or R4 tires. What I've noticed on many brands and models is that the size of the front tires is always the same between the tire style options, but the size of the rear varies. For example, my tractor has 43" R4 tires, but if I had gone with R3 tires they would have been 41" tires. Despite this, BOTH options would have resulted in 25" fronts.
How are they able to do this and maintain functionality of the 4-wheel-drive system without binding?
