f400 13.9x38 4 ply heavy enuff?

redblood · Mar 9, 2010

I have found 2-good 13.9 x 38 tires for my f400. The only question is my current tires are 6 ply these are 4 ply.
I would say the tractor gets moderate usage, tandem axle manure spreader and some field work. About 10 acres a year and then yard work. Probably gonna load the tires.
How well do ya think the 4 ply tires would hold up? Should I keep looking or would they be fine?

13.6 or 14.9 probably not 13.9

IDK about the ply deal. If I were actually farming with them I might want 6 plys. Tractor pulling I like 4 plys bc they are lighter. How much are they? What brand? How much tread? How much weather checking/damage? These questions all come to mind when I am looking at used tires. You are about $700 deep in new tires so I take it from there.

Woops 13.6 good shape minal checking or cracking. $400.00 comes with clamp on dual rims that are for a John Deere. So rims and tires $400.00. Price is right was just wondering about the ply strength.

if they are goodyear or armstrong they will probably not hold up well, if they are firestones they should be ok.

Those clamp on dual rims have very little to almost NO value, so $400 for a pair of used and slightly weather checked tires MIGHT be a little high.
