JOHN DEERE 3130 TIRES
The John Deere 3130 tractor is available in 2WD and 4WD configurations, impacting traction and field performance. The 2WD model with standard ag tires (7.50-20 front, 16.9-38 rear) excels in fuel efficiency and lower maintenance costs, but may struggle in wet or uneven terrain. Conversely, the 4WD variant, featuring larger front tires (12.4-24), enhances stability and maneuverability, making it ideal for heavy-duty tasks in challenging conditions but potentially at the cost of increased fuel consumption.
