An Introductory Brief On Farm Tractor Tires

After buying a tractor, new or old, you will eventually get to a point where you need to buy replacement tractor tires

. Old tractors especially need a replacement soon after purchase, if the previous owner had used the tractor for some time. It is therefore imperative that you know a thing or two about farm tractor tires. For instance, you ought to know which tire types to buy for which tractor and for what purposes.

First off, you need to know that there are about six types of farm tractor tires. Some of the types you will readily find in a local or online store include industrial farm tires, rear farm tires, farm tires, front farm tires, implement farm tires, narrow row crop tires and the specialty farm tires. Rear farm tractor tires are huge and much larger than the front farm tires, mainly to give a tractor more traction and pushing capacities. It is important that while purchasing rear tires you emphasize on the design, tread depth and the tire radius. Market leading brands for rear tires include Radial tires and the BIAS Field and Road tires.

Front farm tires vary in their tread depths, diameter and designs. Tread depth and tire design determine the level of traction and the grip ability of the tractor. Wide treads complemented by large footprints are for example an ideal design that primarily helps distribute load weight evenly and thus suitable for carrier tractors. Specific designs of front farm tractor tires leading in the market today include Front Farm Firestone 4 Rib F-2, Front Backhoe F-3, Front Farm Single Rib F-1, Front Backhoe Multi Mile F-3 and Front Farm 3 Rib.

Specialty tractor tires are usually custom made for a particular tractor with specialised usage. You can contact a tire company for such an arrangement. Most companies will assign a specialist to design the specific tire set you need. Most specialty farm tires are built in compatibility of farming implements, such that their design features aid in steering, manoeuverability and control. Such custom-made tires will cost slightly above the normal rates at online or offline stores. You can still find ready made specialty tractor tires in the market such as the Specialty Rib Duplex, the Specialty I-3 and the Specialty Non-directional Duplex.

Tractors designed for agricultural farming are tailor-made by the manufacturer based on what they are intended for. Nevertheless, such manufacturers as John Deere, Kubota, GE and others have models that can multitask on the farm. They can mow, ferry, water, harvest, dig, and furrow. Such tractors however need specific farm tractor tires for each of the activities undertaken. That is why you will find tires like the narrow row crop tires being used only for tending to young crops. Manufactures have directions on the type of tires you should use, depending on how you want to use the tractor.

Given that the tractor will mostly be in off-road settings, it is also important to arm your tires with tractor tire chains that will help improve traction during foul weather in extremely tough conditions.
