for traction
The size of the rear tires on the Cub Cadet 1641 garden tractor are 23x10.5-12. The size of the front tires are 16x6.5-8. The wheel base on this tractor is 46.5 inches.
The torque which is to be transmitted in the tyres defines it
The larger rear tires get better traction in the mud and rough terrain. The front only needs to steer.
It is more difficult to steer with big tires, they are smaller so they are managable, also the weight on a tractor and traction is needed in the rear
Because the front tyres are used to actually steer the tractor, whereas the rear ones typically are not. Thus, it's important to ensure that the front tyres have enough clearance to where they won't rub against the frame or other components of the tractor when they're turned.
yes. both front must be exactly the same though and the same goes for the rear pair.
It is huge/big because of traction purposes. Larger the wheel, larger the amount of traction it has on the ground!!
Trade the rear tires to the front and the front tires to the rear. Every other time you do it, trade the right front tire to the left rear and right rear to left front
The pressure in any tire is determined by the weight the tire is supposed to carry . For example , if a car is weighing 2000 kilos , each tire is carrying 500 kilos weight . The pressure in the tire should be such as to withstand this weight . Pressure is force divided by area . So the more the area of the tire connecting to the land , the less tyre pressure is needed to withstand the weight . The rear tires of the tractor are almost double the size of the front tires and carry three fourth of the weight of the tractor . So if the tractor weighs 2000 kgs the rear tires carry weight of 1500 kgs and the front tires carry weight of 500 kgs . But then the front tires are one half the size so the pressure there will be 2 X pressure in rear tyre X 3/4 . ( These are approximate calculations for illustration . ) So the front tire should have about 1.5 times more pressure than the rear tires .
If they are regular tires and the tractor is 2wd they are 11.2-24 and 4wd they are 9.5-24 If they are turf tires and the tractor is 2 or 4wd they are 41x14.00-20
DIRECTIONAL tires stay on the same side of the vehicle Front to rear , rear to front
