for traction
To provide more 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
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, 12.4x24 front tires can work with 18.4x28 rear tires on a Kubota M7500DT 4x4 tractor, as they are a common combination for this model. However, it is essential to ensure that the overall tire height and performance characteristics are compatible to maintain proper balance and traction. Always consult the tractor's manual or a tire specialist for specific recommendations to ensure optimal performance and safety.
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 .
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
As the traction comes from the rear tyres, it's important to ensure that they have enough surface area to gain sufficient traction, and also enough surface area making contact with the ground that it lowers the ground pressure to a point where the tractor won't sink into the mud. Since the front tyres are the ones which actually turn the vehicle, they're smaller to ensure that they can turn and have enough clearance where they won't rub against the frame of the tractor.
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
No But It can be done and will increase traction
