Large tires increase the surface area of the vehicle in contact with the ground. This results in increased traction, allowing the tractor to transmit power more efficiently to the ground.
Reduced Soil Compaction:
Large, low-pressure tires help distribute the weight of the tractor more evenly, reducing the surface pressure and minimizing soil compaction. Soil compaction can damage soil structure, reduce water infiltration, and hamper plant root development.
Improved Flotation:
Large tires provide better flotation, allowing tractors to operate in soft, wet terrain without getting bogged down. This is particularly important in agricultural fields, where maintaining soil structure and avoiding compaction are crucial.
Enhanced Stability:
The larger contact area of wide tires improves the tractor's stability. This is beneficial during tasks like hauling heavy loads, lifting implements, or navigating rough terrain.
Reduced Rolling Resistance:
Larger tires have lower rolling resistance than smaller ones. This means the tractor can move more easily with less energy expenditure.
Increased Load Carrying Capacity:
Large tires can carry heavier loads without compromising stability. This is advantageous for transporting agricultural implements, produce, or other cargo.
Operator Comfort:
Large tires provide a smoother ride and reduce vibrations transmitted to the operator. This enhances operator comfort and reduces fatigue during long hours of fieldwork.
Versatility:
Large tires are versatile and suitable for a wide range of agricultural applications, from plowing and harrowing to planting, harvesting, and transporting.
