I see it differently. While tractor tire treads may all look similar to many people, many little variations have been tried, and they make a difference. Many are a result of compromises between goals- say of a smooth ride vs traction. And traction in what conditions? In the 60's it seemed like half of the new tractors came with those 45 degree GoodYear tires. They were hard rubber, lasted forever, but didn't pull well in our soil when it was damp. The straighter Firestone tread has always done better here. But how many machines are always involved in a hard pull in sticky soil? The Armstrong/Titan bias tires of the 70's pulled well here, but were soft rubber, and wore out fast. Plus, if run soft at all, the sidewalls gave out. So, again, the bi-directional, long bar/short bar, jagged bar, curved bar, and whatever bar, etc, all make a difference, albeit maybe a slight difference in many circumstances, but an important difference in some situations.
