FORD 1715 TIRES
The Ford 1715 tractor offers both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with standard agricultural tires that impact traction and stability during operation. The 2WD version has narrower front tires (4.00x15), which may limit maneuverability on uneven terrain, while the 4WD model utilizes wider front tires (6x14) for enhanced grip and better performance in muddy or hilly conditions. When selecting between these options, consider the terrain and tasks; 4WD is advantageous for heavy-duty applications or challenging environments, whereas 2WD may suffice for lighter, flat-field work.
