MAHINDRA 2540 TIRES

The Mahindra 2540 tractor boasts standard agricultural tires (8.3x16 front and 12.4x24 rear), offering excellent traction for fieldwork in varied soil conditions. Alternatively, the industrial tire options (10-16.5 front and 43x16-20 rear) enhance maneuverability and stability on paved or uneven surfaces, suitable for construction or landscaping applications. However, switching between tire types may require recalibration of the tractor’s load capacity and traction performance, depending on the operational scenario.
