HESSTON 1180 TIRES
The Fiat-Hesston 1180 tractor features a versatile tire configuration with options for both two-wheel drive (11.00-16 front, 18.4-38 rear) and four-wheel drive (14.9-28 front, 18.4-38 rear), enhancing traction and stability on various terrain. The 18.4-38 rear tires provide significant flotation and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for heavy field work. However, the choice between 2WD and 4WD can impact fuel efficiency and maneuverability; 2WD may be more economical for flat terrain, while 4WD is advantageous in challenging conditions.
