Another reason for running duals is stability. A lot of farmers around here leave the duals on when they spray row crops even though traction is not a problem in most cases.
Most farmers here plant row crops in 30" wide rows and the rear tires on the tractor are commomly 18" wide so there's only six inches of room between the outside of the tire and the row. The tractor HAS to stay in the middle of the row at all times. Without duals, those squishy single rear radial tires make the top-heavy tractor sway arould alot, making for a very tiring day of driving. Last year when I sprayed the beans for the second time I took the duals off to keep from damaging too much crop on the end rows, but as a result the tractor was so hard to keep between the rows that I think I did more damage by getting off the row too much. Yes, the front end is tight and aligned right.(long story, Whew) Jim
