MAHINDRA 4540 TIRES

The Mahindra 4540 offers a solid 2WD and 4WD option, with standard agricultural tires designed for versatility in field and road applications. The 12.4x28 rear tires improve traction for challenging terrains, while the industrial tire options (12.6x16.5 front and 16.9x24 rear) enhance the tractor's utility in construction or industrial settings. A key consideration is that while 4WD enhances off-road performance, it may require more frequent maintenance and fuel consumption compared to 2WD, making operational costs a factor for high-intensity tasks.
