CASEIH MX135 TIRES
The CaseIH MX135 features a robust tire configuration, with standard ag tires providing optimal traction for various terrain; 11.00-16 for 2WD and 14.9R28 for 4WD front tires enhance stability and maneuverability in challenging conditions. The rear tires, sized at 18.4R-38, offer excellent weight distribution, crucial for heavy-duty tasks like tillage and hauling. A potential challenge lies in tire wear during road transport and the trade-off between 2WD simplicity versus 4WD traction in soil management scenarios.
