MASSEY FERGUSON 251XE TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 251XE features front tires sized 6.00x16 and rear tires 14.9x24, providing a balanced stance for stability and traction across various terrains. The agricultural (Ag) tire design is advantageous for effective soil compaction and enhanced grip during field operations, though it may face challenges in soft/wet conditions. With this configuration, it is ideal for smaller farms requiring versatile tractor performance for tillage and transport tasks.
| Ag front | 6.00x16 |
| Ag rear | 14.9x24 |
DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 251XE features a front tire size of 6.00x16 and rear tire size of 14.9x24, which provides a balanced approach to traction and stability during operation. The smaller front tires enhance maneuverability in tight spaces, while the larger rear tires improve load-carrying capacity and traction in various soil conditions. However, this setup may limit flotation in softer terrains, making it less effective in heavy muddy conditions compared to larger tire configurations.
