Liquid Filling Tractor Tires

[Reddog]

With the advent of radial ag tires I don't think they even bother with liquid ballast any more .

Now because of the for-mentioned loaded tire mechanical failures, most have been forced to use large amounts of front weights and frame weights.

With the advent of radial ag tires I don't think they even bother with liquid ballast any more .The deal with double tires is for floatation .Less compaction of the soil plus you can pull a lot more if you are not pushing ruts in the soil .With that in mind rubber tracked crawlers of a modern design are making a resurgence .Those things pound for pound will out pull a 4 wheel drive even equipted with duals plus they have 18 mph road speeds

Funnily enough that was the thinking back then of filling duals.

The idea was more weight with low pressure=larger footprint=more traction. Similar to the tracked, heavy tractors now re emerging.
