Hey folks,
I think I know the answer but am a little thick headed. Looking at my owners manual like a monkey studying a math problem :roll:
Tractor is about 8N size German made farmall.
Situation: soupy
Current tire size: 10x28
About time for new tires. 10x28 are reasonable @ 260 bucks for a pair mounted. In order to get more traction and minimize damage to areas that I have no choice but drive on, I thought about going to wider tires. Which brings me to a couple questions..
1) how much wider would I have to go to make a difference worth mentioning.
2) would it serve the same purpose (or even be better) to stay with the original size and go to duals?
3) (this is where I'm slobbering over the manual) Should I be able to finnagle original equipment by rearranging bolts/mounting position to keep my existing outside width that I have with single tires?
A quick look at prices looks like I could get 4 10x28's at almost the same price as 2 14x28's and I could pick upan extra set of rims for a few bucks.
Or,would either choice just be a waste of time/money?

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
