Can I mix Radial and Bias
Duals/Unmatched Duals?
There is no reason
why you cannot mix radial and bias tires on the
same axle. Typically, the radial tire should
be mounted on the inside
dual position.

Between liquid or cast weights, which is best for adding
ballast to my tractor?
We, along with
Goodyear, recommend using cast weights.
It is important for overall performance that a
tractor has the
recommended total weight per horsepower. The
weight
should also be split between front and rear axles in
accordance
with the tractor manufacturer's recommendations.
The use of
cast weights allows the weight to be adjusted more
easily as the
tractor work requirements change from task to task.
Although more
costly initially, the ease of use with cast weights
will prove to be
beneficial overall.

My new implement came with "FI" tires.
What
is special about them?
Since time is money
for business these days, the agricultural
industry wanted to transport implements from dealer
to farm and
from field to field at a faster rate. Standard
implement tires had an
"SL"suffix to the basic size (such as 11L-15SL).
The "SL" meant
service limited to agriculture and was limited to 25
mph transport
speed. Going to higher speeds required
qualification to the same
regulations that govern highway tires. To
handle this need, a new
classification of implement tire was developed.
The "FI" suffix
denotes the highway speed qualified implement tires
can be used to
transport implements. Even though the
transport speed is less than the
load rating on the "SL" tires, the in-field load
capacity of the tires
actually exceeds the in-field capacity of the "SL"
tires. These new
"FI" tires, such as "F1" 11L-15FI, offer you great
opportunity to
improve the time efficiency of your operation.
