I am rebuilding a Massey Ferguson 130 that was a narrow vineyard model. All the tires were cracked beyond use. It has 3x19 tires on the front and 9.5x24 on the back. I am putting 12.4x24 with 10 inch wide rims on the back and thinking about putting 6x16 rims on the front.
As I was looking at tires brands, Harvest King tires seemed to be the most inexpensive. Has anyone had any experience with them? I was going to get a pair of 7.5x16 tri rib tires for the front.
I have learned that I can get worn but still usable front drive tires from large 4x4 tractors for my rear tires that are 8 ply and still have 40% of their tread. Any comments about what I am doing are appreciated. I am spacing the rear tires out by about four inches per side by reversing the centers then gaining another three inches from the wider tires and rims. I want to make the tractor slightly wider for it to be more stable.
