Here's the technicals: 15.5 X 38 means the contact patch is about 1.3 feet wide by 1 foot long (assumption) and the 18.4 X 34 is 1.5 feet by 1 foot. So the 1600 contact patchs total 2.6 sq ft or 2692 psf and the Massey has 6 sq ft contact patch and at 11,000 lb has 1833 psf. The Massey has spread the load better and has less weight per-square-foot and therefore less compaction. I find I only have an issue when I have tilled the ground. The tractor tracks do not get dicsed in and I deal with those till I plow again. My 1655 with 18.4 X 34 pulling a planter or drill doesn't leave the same depth track and it doesn't last all year. Discing I with either the 1855 or 2255 the dual are on.
