FORD 1300 TIRES
The Ford 1300 tractor offers versatility with both 2WD and 4WD configurations and multiple tire options tailored for agricultural or lawn/turf applications. The more robust 4WD Ag setup (6.00-14 front and 8.3-24 rear) enhances traction and stability on uneven terrain, making it ideal for rugged farming conditions. Conversely, the 2WD Lawn/turf option (20x8-10 front and 13.6-16 rear) is advantageous for lighter tasks in residential settings, posing less compaction risk to lawns but sacrificing off-road capability.
