J.I. CASE 1170 TIRES
The J.I. Case 1170 tractor features Ag front tires (10.00-16) and larger Ag rear tires (18.4-38), which enhance traction and stability, particularly on uneven terrain. This tire configuration is advantageous for heavy-duty applications in farming and tillage, providing better flotation and reducing soil compaction. However, users should be mindful of potential challenges related to turning radius and maneuverability in tight spaces due to the wide rear track.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The J.I. Case 1170 tractor, weighing 12,000 lbs (5443 kg), is designed for significant fieldwork, offering stability and traction due to its heavy frame and large rear tires (18.4-38). Its front tires (10.00-16) may limit its flotation capabilities on softer soils, making it more suitable for firm ground with minimal compaction. Overall, this model balances power and maneuverability, ideal for medium to large farming operations but may require careful consideration of tire selection based on soil conditions.
