I currently have 11L-15 flotation tires on the front. They are wearing on the outside edges, hay work means more miles on the road and less in the field.
My Hesston 5580 round baler tires are about done, they are also the same size. I am thinking just change the ones on the tractor to the baler.
I also want to mount my loader I actually bought for my Ford 5000 row crop on the 1066 instead, the loader is just a little big for the Ford with it's steering issues.
SO, Nebraska tire has tri rib or quad rib for same price. Seems to me I read somewhere that a quad rib actually helps take some of the wander out of a 1066 at road speed. If I remember right, I think it was also mentioned the quad is a better loader tire and easier on soft hay fields.
What would I sacrifice, if anything, by going with a quad rib?
The other option I considered is getting aircraft tires for the 1066, would be plenty heavy for loader use, but afraid it would make skittish steering even worse in the winter.
I am flying to Maryland tomorrow to drive back a Right Hand Drive Jeep Cherokee I bought for my mail route, so you won't see any of my input on this again until sometime Sunday. DOUG
