MASSEY FERGUSON 3060 TIRES

The Massey Ferguson 3060 features two tire configurations: 7.50-16 front with 18.4-30 rear for 2WD, and 12.4-24 front with 18.4-30 rear for 4WD, enhancing traction and stability based on operational needs. The choice between 2WD and 4WD affects maneuverability and power transfer, with 4WD providing superior traction in wetter or uneven terrain. Additionally, the larger rear tire (18.4-30) increases ground contact, beneficial for heavy tillage operations but may limit speed on hard surfaces.
