There's lots of tractors out there with mis-matched tires. I've got one too. It probably isn't going to do a lot of harm, but it isn't really a good thing either. I remember having another tractor like this a few years ago, and it always had a pretty good whine from the differential. Lo and behold, when I put 2 new rears on, the noise went away. The diff is working overtime when you have 2 tires of a differing circumference. It's something I avoid on my main tractors. The only one I have like that now is my old 4000, and it doesn't do any amount of work anymore, let alone heavy drawbar work. For me, like most others, it didn't justify installing 2 new rears when one was still 50%. FWIW,
