Those look like Nokian tires. Do the M6 tractors have them? Also we’ve got R4s on our L5030 and they work perfectly, although we need to air them down. That tractor is on a very hilly piece of property in middle southern TN, and they work perfectly, they’re wide (great stability on hills going sideways), they’re ballasted (not particularly special to them but due to the width it helps add weight), they wear great (it doesn’t see asphalt much), my one complaint is the fronts should be a little wider, but that’s it.
@CoalChrome5 жыл бұрын
Something neat about what Mahindra does, with some of their tires (our ‘03 5500 is this way) are ah tires, but they have the center line thing, the center of the lugs have a big knob on them, the tractor doesn’t really bounce at all, or make road noise, the knobs do wear pretty quick, but that’s probably because the tires (even after 16 years) aren’t really ‘hard rubber’.)
