Our 4010 was built with 15.5's, the factory tires were down to around 60% tread depth when we bought it. Neighbor ordered out the first side console 4020-D on 15.5's because he thought he might mount his picker on it. He started trading help with another neighbor and put the picker on his 3020G nfe. Neighbor with the new 4020 had new Firestone Deep Treads, still 15.5's mounted, even when he turbo-charged it the Deep Treads tied the tractor to the ground. The GY Power Torque tires were mounted on our 4010, never even made it to town.
BTO I worked for had two early 4020's an open station NFE, and wfe cab tractor, about 1969-'70 he traded both 4020's for side console 4020D-nfe and a 4320 with Stopler ROPS cab with heat & A/C. Later bought a used 4020-gas wfe, and later got a 4230 with turbo and ALL were on 18.4x34's. Heard a lot of guys complain about putting 18.4x38's on tractors that had 18.4x34's, Where did my HP go? The BTO had a F-145 5-14 plow, pulled it with every tractor I listed except the 4230, always in 5th gear, except the 4020 gas could only manage 4th. The 4320 just played with that plow, probably could have run 18.4x38's and still plowed in 5th. Or 5-16's.
Guy was luck, most of his ground only 1/2 to a mile away from our home farm but our's was hilly, or rolling. His all was flat, level, maybe a few little slopes in some fields. Amazing what a difference that made when plowing/didking. IH's with TA's ruled on hills. When we went from a 450 gas Farmall to a 4010-D with the 4020 kit on our 4 bottom equipment we picked up about 1/2 mph overall.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
