Mark: I think these tire sizes had a lot to do with the local dealer and how he ordered them in. One item we found in our area was the larger tires gave better floatation with front end loaders. The same would be true also of the mounted corn picker. The larger tires also rolled over obstacals easier. Many times especially with a front end loader under slipery conditions even something as high as 2" could stop you. The larger tires just rolled over these obstacals easier and as such was easier on whole tractor in general. I was commercially farming when these tractors were built new and can remember there was a fair variety of tire options available. I think you could order them with everything from 6.00x16 to 7.50x16. Rear tires were same. In the area where I grew up the soil was quite soft and unstable. Compared to the US mid west where soil is quite firm, we were calling for much wider front and rear tires long before the industry responded. Of course the other thing you must remember is probably 75% of the farm tractors were going to the US corn belt. The rest of us didn't matter a whole lot to them.
