As this has been my summer of shuffling rear tires around on my fleet of antiquer's (been changing em myself...oh the fun ).
Figured I might as well plan on changing some fronts tires too.
Farmall M: Has 13.6 x 38 on the rear. Leaning towards 6.00 x 16 on the front but this tractor has Behlen power steering so I could likely also get by with 6.50 x 16 tires, Will likely pick a 3-rib design. Tractor is mostly used to run a haybine, hay baler, ocassional bush hogging, etc. No tillage work to speak of. Which size would you go with and what tread design?
Farmall H: Has 12.4 x 38 on rear. Leaning towards either 5.50 x 16 or possibly 6.00 x 16. Likely go with 3 rib design as well. This tractor has manual manpower steering so wanna keep the steering as easy as possible. Uses are hay raking, hay tedding, haybine, bush hogging, and no tillage to speak of. Which size and tread design would you go for?
All opinions sought and neither of these are showpieces in anyway so could care less about factory original. More interested in what will work best.
