Has anyone of you ever used these tires on your tractors, if so any feed back on them as far as performance & ability to resist punctures.

Thank you Bill Shaver.

Best tire you will ever own!

You will easily recapture and pass up the orginal investment!

If you want maximum performance and want to keep the tractor or improve its value, put them on!

I bought a set of Agribib's about a year ago. Love them so far. These are an excellent mud/ soft ground condition tire and also ride very nicely on the road. Smooth as silk. Don't know how puncture proof they are yet. Hope I never find out. I know that these tires will do as much in 2-wheel drive as the tractor did with the old bias tires in FWD. Just talk to the tire shop about specing the right tire for your application. They're expensive, but I think they're worth the money. They should wear a lot longer too.

Radials per se: I bought a 52hp Ford tractor with 50% radials (13.9x38) from a Holland mfgr. I was impressed with their ability to dig and hold the soil during plowing with minimum weight(no water nor add on's) and slippage.

However, when moving 5x6 round bales, they do have some side play, but it's not a problem.

Would I buy them new? Would have to think about that. Cost would probably be the determining factor.

My neighbour had AGCO put them on his 8785. Before that he had Firestones and the tractor couldn't be drove over 16 mph on the road due to the bounce and he always had power hop problems with them. Now the tractor rides like a Cadillac and pulls like it was in another weight class. By the way they are the XM108's

Thanks.

i put them on my massey 1080, & I like them am considering using them on my other maseys as well, a 555, & a 444, just curious as to their ability to resist ounctures from things like thorn apples. Im going away from water ballast to steel weights & loading the tires with tire sealant as well.

Sirs .

Welkl rolled into dealership on saturday about 11.00 am & got my tires, for the 555 & 444 paid about 2,000, for the lot & will install myself, no trouble at all, inflation pressure really important have heard in my locale of people having no luck, then go figure as usual, biased on account of the name, actually they are made in HUNGARY these days! strange though how people around me have had trouble with them & don't like them they'd rather have titans.
