Implement or 3-rib tires - Farmall 560 with Loader

Posted by Brent in Iowa on June 20, 2004 at 21:35:27 from (66.43.236.169):

I just put a new 3-rib 6.00-16 tire on my 560 last fall after putting 16 thorns into the old one while mowing some brush. Yesterday I was over at the neighbors moving manure and "found" a broken metal fencepost with the 6.00-16 on the other side (good thing it wasn't the new one), boy did I lose air fast!

In order to finish (tire store closed) I took a brand-new 15" spare implement wheel/tire from one of my grain wagons (only one I had with right bolt pattern) and threw that on. It was same overall height as the 16" tractor front, but a tad wider.

My question is: I now have to buy one new tire/tube to get a matched set on the 560, should I buy another 16" tractor front (6-ply on there now) or another 15" implement tire (8-ply now). I have a loader on the tractor and was thinking the implement tire may be too bouncy (taller sidewall, more "balloonish" too), but it would be nice to have the extra flotation/less compaction in the hay field. I have never ran anything but 3-rib tractor fronts before. Am I going to lose traction when turning, or other issues to think about? I use it mainly for moving manure and snow.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!
