FORD 2810 TIRES
The Ford 2810 tractor, available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, is versatile for varied agricultural tasks. The 2WD with standard ag tires provides lower initial cost and easier maintenance, but may struggle with traction on wet or uneven terrain compared to the 4WD variant which offers enhanced stability and power distribution, especially in challenging field conditions. When selecting between the two options, consider the typical soil type and operational environment; 2WD is suitable for flat, dry fields, while 4WD is preferable for hilly or muddy areas.
