KUBOTA M5950 TIRES
The Kubota M5950 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with tire sizes optimized for different traction scenarios; 2WD uses standard AG tires (6.50-16 front and 16.9-28 rear) while 4WD features larger front tires (9.5-24) for improved grip on uneven terrain. A key advantage of the 4WD option is enhanced stability and traction during plowing and tilling operations, particularly in muddy or hilly environments. However, the 2WD model may offer a more cost-effective choice for flat terrains where excessive traction is unnecessary, potentially reducing maintenance costs associated with the driveline.
