If so does your tractor shake and do they pull good or have you had problems with them. Any information you have is great. Thanks for looking Greg knapp [Reply]   [No Email]

I have not found ANY use that they are good at. They road wear terrible. They will NOT clean out in mud and they do not seem to pull worth a darn. I had a set of worn out Firestone Field and Road tires on a JD 5020. It had 24.5 x 32 tires on it. You all know what they cost new. So I found a set off of a combine that had 90% tread on them. I have a farm that is close to a tire shop. The tires where loaded. So I pulled two 400 bushel wagons up to the other farm loaded. I dumped them and unhooked them an then took the tractor to get the tires changed. I came back and got the wagons. I drove home and filled the same two wagons I had just pulled to the farm. There is one pretty good hill on a gravel road. I had always pulled it fine. I spun out three fourths of the way up with the Good Year Dyna Torque II tires on it. The worn out Firestone's pulled better. I thought it might be because of the taller tread not contacting the road as much. So I only filled the back wagon half full the next trip. I made it but really dug my way up the hill. So after that I would just pull them one at a time up the hill. Fast forward to the next spring. I had a 22 foot JD 235 disk that we always pulled with the JD 5020. I had axle duals on it too. It looked wicked with four 24.5 x 32 tires on it. When I went to the field I had to raise the depth stops as I would spin out with the disk. They where set where we had always pulled the disk. It was the tires. I limped through the spring and bought two New Firestone 23 degree tires for it. I was able to pull the hill with two loaded wagons the next fall. The fallowing spring I lowered the depth stops back to where we had always used them too. SO the tires where the issue not tread depth. Since then I only have Good Year Dyna Torque II tires on things that had them when I bought them. If I am going to keep the tractor I sell the Good Year tires and replace them with another brand.
