Radials will give you more traction. I have had bias and radials on my 966 and preferred the radials because of their extra traction especially in snow (had loader and a snow blower on it). My thought is it depends on how mush tillage you are going to do and how much traction you need for bailing etc. If you are only doing a little bit of tillage, and traction is not a problem, I would go with the bias tire. As far as width is concerned, again depends. A narrower tire will have more pounds per square inch of ground contact. A wider tire will have less, thus carrying over soft soils easier. As far as pulling, the wider tire will have the potential to put more horsepower to the ground IF you have enough weight to hold the traction. If you’re farming full time, or using the tractor daily, the radials probably not worth the expense in your situation, but if not, save your money and but the bias tires. Just my 2 cents.
