I am seeking a set of dual wheels (hubs and rims and tires) to fit a Farmall 544. The wheel size is 13.6 x 38. Thank you.

Are your axles long enough for axle duals ? Snap-on duals with a spacer are so much easier to put on . Or are you using them for row crop for a row crop application ? My 2 cents.

I am hoping to find any dual wheels that will fit my Farmall 544 to distribute the weight when disking. Otherwise, I fear the disk will not remove the wheel marks from that tractor (tires are loaded, plus wheel weights on rear wheels).

Al: I used a lot of duals over the years on 1066, 656 and 560. I never used any weights liquid or solid on those tractors. I found they would pull just as much tillage tools dualed as single with weight. Soil compaction costs more money every year than we realize. First year I had 1066 I pulled 24 foot cultivator also a 20 foot disc with 20" plates with single wheels and liquid weight. Planting corn or drilling grain with 656, I could feel every wheel track 1066 left especially when crossed tracks diagonally. In early stages of crop devlopment you could see those tracks reflected in crop. The 1066 also destroyed its first tires that first year. Had bulges on tires so bad you couldn't use high gear on hard road. I bought a set of axle duals and 4 new tires and the liquid weight didn't go back. Within a year I had duals for 560 and 656, again all weights were removed. From that time on duals were never off 1066 and 560. I did drop them from 656 for mower conditioner, corn planter, spraying, etc. Tires will last a lot longer. Second set of tires on 1066 went 9 years and 9,000 hours.
