As long as you're not going through any real tight overhead areas and you have a modest amount of clearance against the frame I don't see why you will have any problem with the size change. That's only 1" on the height which is not a big deal.... As far as this debate about odd sizes... I'm sorry... but if you run a skid any amount of time and place any value on a dollar... you will at some point run odd sizes, mixed sets, half worn tires, ETC. The difference it will make to the machine is so close to non-existent that it's not worth thinking about. Some machines will wear tires fairly evenly. Some will scuff the fronts off if they're doina a particular chore continously. Others will spin the rears off faster because they do a lot of pushing and hte fronts are in the air more than they're on the ground. More often than not my machine will scuff it's fronts off but I have at times seen it tear the back ones down quickly... I just don't see the point of getting all bent out of shape over it. I keep a spare wheel here most times and throw that on when I get a flat... so it's obviously not the best tire in the fleet. It may not be mounted in the right direction for the side it's on... It may not even be the same profile/aspect ratio as the others that are on the machine. I've never seen ~any~ adverse wear on the drive chains as a result... and this machine has had EVERY chance to destroy chains prematurely. Just throw a set on it and don't worry about it.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
