FORD 5530 TIRES
The Ford 5530 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with 2WD featuring standard agricultural tires sized 7.50x18 at the front and 9.50x42 at the rear, offering good traction for less rugged terrain. In contrast, the 4WD configuration utilizes identical 13.6x38 tires for both front and rear, enhancing stability and maneuverability, making it suitable for uneven and muddy conditions. While the 4WD version provides superior traction, it also leads to increased fuel consumption and maintenance complexity compared to the simpler 2WD system.
| 2WD Standard tires (ag | Front: 7.50x18. Rear: 9.50x42 |
| 4WD Standard tires (ag | Front: 13.6x38. Rear: 13.6x38 |
DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Ford 5530 tractor's 2WD configuration with an 82.8-inch wheelbase offers better stability and traction for tasks in flat terrain, while the 4WD's shorter wheelbase can improve maneuverability in tight spaces. With a weight range of 5,689 to 7,290 pounds, the tractor provides significant stability under load, though the heavier configuration may reduce mobility in certain conditions. The distinct tire sizes (7.50x18 front and 9.50x42 rear for 2WD) indicate a design optimized for lifting and pulling, making it suitable for applications involving heavy implements or tillage.
