  1. Just to add too the confusion, but I believe the 462 will be out this year!

    Not quite sure if it's the 441 or 461 they're replacing but something is out there in development! (found this on a german forum) . . . 442 or 462:confused1:

     

    If they can create the same magic that they did with the 661 the it'll be a winner :thumbup:. . . but if they create another fat lump like the 362 then :thumbdown:

  2. (i)Do you know yer inter-axle ratio?

    (ii) Why are you retaining the origional fronts?

    (iii)i.e. perhaps consider new matching wider front and rear on the origonal rim diminsions, while keeping the inter-axle ratio correct.

    There a few good sources giving effective rolling radius/circumfrences out there, primarily Trellborg/Micheln.

    From the possessor of a way over-shod DB 1490, Fer Da Moss, running at about 12 to 15psi

    PS

    With the extra rim costs I cannot see the justification in "saving" 10% sidewall height, which I imagine should be "real-world" insignificent

     

    i+ii yes have sussed the ratio and no I'm not keeping the current fronts so will wait on what rears I decide on and then get bigger fronts to suit.

     

    iii Current rims are turf and tiny so not an option for ag's and ground clearance is poor - so as I'm starting afresh I'm keen to get it right.

     

    16.9-24 are also an option and should sit higher than 13.6 28s . . .

  3. I'm trying to decide which option to go with as I'm replacing the rims and tyres on a tractor I've just bought. Currently it's on Turfs and I'm swapping to AG.

     

    On the rears it was originally (manufacturer) shod in 13.6 x 28 but I want to go wider and either keep the same rc or go slightly larger (obviously matching the fronts to suit inter/axle ratio). Current options are:

     

    a) 480/60R 28

    b) 480/70R 24, or

    c) just going with original spec 13.6x28.

     

    The 480/60 28's are pricy but will have a shorter side wall and therefore better squirming stability on side slopes in the forest. Whilst the 480/70 24's are cheaper but will obviously have taller side walls . . . . Not quite sure how much the side wall height will effect things when it gets spicy:confused1:

     

    Any thoughts?:thumbup1:
