Hey folks,
Neighbor kid is about to make me a deal I prolly won't be able to refuse on a tractor.... Anyway, just put new 11x28 and 6x16 tires on my tractor, the one to trade came with either 11x28 or 11x32 and 6x16...

Has 11x32 on it now that is pretty much shot.

So, the ????

It's a 42 HP tractor that will likely get a loader on it. New set of 11x32's cost about 600 bucks or I can swap rim/tires for my 11x28's

Will the 11x32's offer an advantage that is worth the 600 bucks + with the added expense of snowchains (already have them for the 11x28's)? Any idea the difference in overall heighth there is between the two?

If anyone on this side of the pond and maybe canada is looking, it's a IHC 423

I see a lot of mud in winter...........

also spend a lot of time on the road 3-5 mile RT's getting hay... Will the increase in speed be significant?

Thanks, Dave
 
I don't have the figures here to figure the difference in circumfrence but the difference in diameter is easy, just take 32 and subtract 28 and that is 4" and that is a very signifiant difference, that would be the same height as a 13 X 28 and the 11X28 that is actually now a 12.4x28 is a common size here in the states. There never was a tractor made that used a 11x32 tire that I ever heard of. The orignal Ford 9N used a 8 or 9x32 and the John Deere H also used that size but that is all I ever heard of and the current sizing on the 10x32 is 11.4x32 and very hard to get. The circumfrence off top of my head I think would be equivilent to an aditional distance the size of your front tire added on to the rear tire you already have. And that it would increase the speed by about a third. And it would also do that on your mower or baler that you want the slow speed for.
 
Dave, go with the 11x32 for better ground clearance, faster road speed and better rolling radus for wet gateways etc. When i sold IH tractors in the 1970s the 3cyl 454 went a lot better on 11x32s as opposed to 11x28s. MJ
