Reduction is soil comapction and better ride quality over rough ground are 2 benefits, but exactly how much extra traction you will gain depends on the type of surface, type of tread, loaded tires, etc... Like somebody else said, on a hard surface, duals may hurt the performance by distributing the tractors weight over a greater ground surface, which results in the tires not biting into the hard surface and slips instead. Duals are the best thing to have in the mud and soft surfaces, you want the weight distributed more so the tractor doesn't just sink into the mud (floatation), and with extra ground surface contact, your able to benefit from alot of extra traction. If all you want to do is pull hard on a hard surface, then skinny tires are your best bet, but for in the mud, you want the wide rice and kane tread tires, and yes, wider is better. Rice and Kane tires are the best thing since sliced bread in soft conditons, but they also ride very hard going down the road, cut up your hay fields if you use them for haying, and if you live anywhere where theres ice and snow in the winter, you either have to leave it parked or put tire chains on them because they are hard rubber, and they are totally worthless. Hope this helps
