All we own are 2 wd tractors, and we have duals for 2 of them, 18.4 34's for the Massey 285& 38's for the Oliver 1855. Both pairs are worn, but by far the 38's are the worst. They're almost bald. We really only bought the 38's to help with the flotaion aspect of it, because the springtooth we use for finishing the seed bed does not level out the tire tracks if the duals aren't on there. The 285 has had duals since before I was around. When we get new tires mounted on the 1855, the ones on it now (Coop radials) will go to the dual rims, and the other ones will be disposed of properly for a small fee. Then there should be quite a bit more traction. They definatley help get through the wet spots too, but if they start to spin your screwed, unless you got a bigger tractor to pull you out. I know they can be a pain for things like hauling down the road, and also making too sharp of a turn. I did the latter this last spring with the manure spreader on the 285 and put a 10" gash right in the tread. We have the old Goodyears that were taken off of that tractor about 15-20 years ago due to carcass seperation, so we had one of them mounted. Still plenty of tread, and more than whats on the other side. I know, a little more than you needed to know... Donovan from Wisconsin

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
