These tires are installed on a 1980s Long 460 2WD tractor with a front loader. Overall, these tires have been holding up well after moving about 120 tons of dirt with them installed. Traction on dirt seem to be quite well. Snow performance has not been evaluated yet, but since this is a 2WD tractor, I don't expect much regardless of tires. I don't operate the tractor during rainy weather.
Good tires Quick delivery Excellent communication
This farm tire is on 335 john deere round bailer. So far it is holding up its end of the deal well. I'm sure this tire will do the job for years to come.
This tire was bought for a mower on the back of a tractor. It is working very well. We couldn't find this tire locally at all.
farm use
These are the reproduction tires for a World War 2 paratrooper handcart model M3A4 and they look and work great for that application.
