Rib tires vs. Truck tires

You might need to think about the negative effects of a frontend loader on a tractor that really wasn't built or designed for frontend loader work. N's are really not that great of front end loader machines, but if thats all you got..... then rung what ya brung.....

I would also seriously consider the effect of putting in more front tire air pressure...say 50 psi. It won't hurt your tire or tractor and might make the turning eazier. I wouldn't recommend "rib" tires, the're really only good for plowing. Pays yer moneys, and take your choices..... ...Dell

But:

1) Never can tell how much (or how little) someone asking a question knows about the subject.

2) My truck tires say 35psi. (Admittedly it's a light truck but it's still a truck.)

The two together could result in someone using too much pressure for a tire.

My neighbor has an 8N with wider car type tires on the front. It seems much easier on the lawn, but in the snow he has much more trouble with the front end sliding.

I also have a Dearborn loader on the front, and the narrow ribbed tires seem to handle it just fine.

Good Luck!
