| have a 220 with 24.5x32 rears, kinda like the look of the big turf tires on the front, mine has 11.00x16 3-ribs now, any thoughts on the size I should go after to beef it up but not make the front sit way too high? |

Are turf tires available in the size you have now? Surely somebody, somewhere manufacturers them? Otherwise put implement tires on the front, we had a 706 years ago that way, looked kinda cool in my opinion. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

I always wondered if it harder to steer than a ribbed tire. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

Sorry about the size. I've been on Facebook so and it's been so long since I've posted here that I missed a step . Tires have been on the front for 12 years. Salvage yard find. Tires from rear of a Kubota and rims from a 2745 MF. All the same as a 7080. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

| If I recall correctly, the 7080 was the only tractor from West Allis that came out with the diamond stud tires. I do like the look of them on Calvin's tractor though... |

 Down sized to 998x749 and then kept it on the left side. Sure wished I had one like this or with front assist when I was younger. ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not. Trawler II says, "Remember that." |
