| I always thought they looked tough. I don't have any tractors outfitted with 24.5x32s or 30.5x32s, so I've never operated any. How do they stand up on performance & wear? Please load up your pictures if you hand one. Thanks for sharing :) |

Had 24.5-32's on my 7060. They SUCKED! Only good thing was they looked cool. They ride terrible, made the whole tractor vibrate on the road, terribly expensive, could not run duals on the drill, too wide to fit in the furrow when we still plowed and they just would not put the power to the ground like they should with out loading them or having a bunch of wheel weights. I changed over to 20.8R38's, made a new tractor out of it. I also run duals now since I could narrow it up because of my 750 Deere drill. Now with the drill when I shift from 5-6 it will pull the front end off the ground an inch or two unless I put the front weights on, 24.5-32's just slipped till they caught up. No more spinning when working ground either with the 20.8R38's. With two 24.5-32's you have 860 square inches of rubber hitting the ground. With four 20.8R38's you have 1500 square inches, that's a 47% increase I believe. My 7580 has 8 24.5-32's on it and they are alright. Lots of floatation and will put all the power to the ground easy. Only thing I don't like there is they are bad for getting flat spots if it sits a while and with clamp on duals it makes it too wide to space them out so they don't fill up with mud if we have a wet fall. I think your better off going with 650/75R32's if you want a big tire. Much flatter than the balloonish style of a regular 24.5-32, they will ride better and put more power down. 20.8R38's are a lot cheaper though. http://s189.photobucket.com/user/Dave7060/media/Farm/P1030353.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s189.photobucket.com/user/Dave7060/media/Farm/24932F24-FCF0-4E8E-AEC8-12E4E5ABCC95.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s189.photobucket.com/user/Dave7060/media/Farm/418A4806-2610-4011-9B71-A2DA497F0E02.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s189.photobucket.com/user/Dave7060/media/Farm/485FA4DA-217D-483B-BBB8-C950D288CB21.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s189.photobucket.com/user/Dave7060/media/Other%20stuff/3FFE4689-32C0-46B2-890D-68B2BDE81F6C.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  My 7060 as it sits now with the 20.8R38's |

I've considered fatties on my 7060 but I think it would be better to have worn out 20.8's and widen them as far as I can so they just miss my baler on tight turns. the FRONTS, now, completely different story. I have the 14x16.1's three rib, and when turning, my center ribs dig a 3-4" furrow. I'd LIKE to get some 20" or so diamond treads for the front. ------------- AC7060Pd 1975 |

Wow, great photos. I learned that a D21 has rear lights on the back of its fenders opposed to the 210 or 220s. Dave7060, your comments about the fat tires rough ride & poorer performance is interesting. Maybe that's why most fat tire D21s were weighted down to the hilt? DustinMo, why does your third D21's rear tires have such wide spaced lugs with a prominent center rib? Jorstad, what model is sitting in the shed by the 220, has the Fwa looking axles? I've never seen a 190 with fat tires. Is it a beach master 190? Eldon(WA), is your D21 a series I or II? Did you swap it tires to another tractor? LOL.. Thanks guys! Keep em coming.. |

the tractor next to the 220 is a 220 fwa and the 190 has 23.1-30 on it. ------------- remember plunder than burn |

Jorstad, the grill sitting in the 190's cab speaks volumes. VF Farms, your 7580 looks like a brute! How many hours on it? Eldon(WA), I vote that you unbolt the outside weights first. Everyone, would these fat tires hold more or less fluid than 20.8s, 18.4s, etc? |

| you will need tires rims and centers |

Your other option which is not original is what I did on my D-21. It came with 18.4 x 34 and I had a good pair of 23.1 x 34 tires from a misadventure in modified tractor pulling 30 years earlier so I widened the rims to 20" and used the tires that I had. 23.1 x 34 tires are very hard to find. As was said, for 32's you need everything. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

| I have a set on 9 bolt rims. But they are probably not what you'd want for a restored tractor. |

| Doug G....I was at a tractor pull one night, a dude came in with a 7040, and it's drawbar was also bent up. I asked him how he did that, he said he bought it that way so he didn't know. he pulled with the tractor and that drawbar was still bent up after the pull! whew! |
