I have found a set of 18.4-34 long bar/short bar Firestones that are about 45% wore. I am thinking about running these on my John Deere R for pulling. Are these any good for pulling? I know everybody says to get long bar/long bar but they are at a good deal. Still yet, I don't want something that won't perform well or something that I will have to replace.

Long bar-Short Bar, seem to work better with speed.
Get a Pair of half (even) worn Field & Roads Firestone, 23 degree. For all around hard to bet.
If the price is right, buy them, and try them.
I have a friend that would kill for those tires. If you don't want them let me know. Again, depends on your rules and weight classes too.
Good Luck!

Surely more than one person has seen long bar/short bars on a pull tractor. Some more opinions and reasons would be great before I make my decision. What do the 720/730 guys run on their Deeres?

I think it all comes down to track condtion. Hard track use less cletes which equales more psi. Soft track you need less psi and more cletes like the long bar short bar

Know of three tractors running long bar short bar designs, a 60,A,and B. All are 6 speeds and drivers use creaper gear, weighted up to heavier classes then you would normally see. Usually beat me every time when I had my new field and roads on my creaper A.

I purchased a 1953 model "60" JD with two different types of tires. One was long, long bar, and the other was long, short bar. I put it in a tractor pull just to see if there was any difference as to which would spin out first. Tire pressure was identical. They both pulled evenly! My two cents worth!! Bob
