Duals can give you the best of all worlds and you can make the call. Duals can provide excellent flotation if coupled with no ballast and about 12 psi inflation. Or, they can give you greatly improved traction ballasted to the maximum rated load and inflated properly. By using cast iron ballast you can make these adjustments quickly. If using liquid ballst, it is recommended by most manufacturures to not ballast more than 40% and ballast each tire equally. Inflate each tire equally as well. Radials, by far the better choice, will have different (lower) tire pressure recommendations than bias. Radials will have a larger footprint that way. They bulge out noticeably laterally but also longitudinally. On really large diameter tires a radial's footprint will start to resemble the footprint of a track. Total tractor weight distribution is important as well and generally falls somewhere in between 25% front/75% rear (2WD) depending on whether you're pulling by drawbar or using 3 point mounted implements. In the case of heavy three point mounted implements the duals are a real plus.
