JOHN DEERE 3005 TIRES
The John Deere 3005 tractor utilizes standard agricultural tires with a variable configuration depending on the drivetrain; the 2WD version features a narrower front tire (5.00-15) compared to the wider front (7.00-14) for the 4WD model. This design allows for optimal traction and stability, particularly in muddy or uneven terrain, while the common rear tire size (11.2-24) aids in load distribution and overall operational efficiency. A key advantage of the 4WD setup is enhanced maneuverability and grip in challenging conditions, although it may lead to increased tire wear and maintenance requirements.
| Standard tires (ag) | Front: 5.00-15. Rear: 11.2-24 (2WD) Front: 7.00-14. Rear: 11.2-24 (4WD) |
DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The John Deere 3005 features a compact wheelbase of 61 inches, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces, ideal for small farms or landscaping tasks. Weighing between 1920 to 2105 pounds, it offers a balanced weight distribution that contributes to stability but may limit traction when operating under heavy loads, especially with its 2WD configuration. The front tire size of 5.00-15 and rear tire of 11.2-24 provide adequate support for various applications, although operators should be cautious in wet or muddy conditions due to potential soil compaction and traction challenges.
