I have a Cockshutt 35 and i am going to do some pulling this year. It is pretty well stock. I am going to run in classes at 3-3 1/2 mph limits. I was wondering what the best size would be for this tractor and the class it will pull in. It has 13.6-38 on it right now that are fairly shot and don't match. I thought one size up new tires would be good but i keep on seing people wanting worn tires. What does this do. I could go up two sizes and still be legal.

That's a pretty light tractor, so it would probably work best with 13.6 tires. If too big, the tires won't dig, and will sit on the top and spin. As far as worn tires, it depends on the track. My road-worn Firestones work great on a moist track, but if the track is dry, they won't dig through the crust, and make me look like a fool. If I pull late in the day, and the track isn't watered enough, I'm done, but with a moist track, I'll pull it out. Good luck, and have fun.

The thing with new tires is the rubber is soft and the treads like to fold back instead of digging in. Also, worn tires usually have an angle worn into them giving them a good pulling edge. Hope tis helps.

Worn tires also don't dig up as much dirt, which piles up in front of the skid pan making it harder to pull. New tires also tend to dig deeper thus lowering your hitch height causing you to lose leverage.
