MASSEY FERGUSON 3070 TIRES

The Massey Ferguson 3070 tractor offers versatile tire configurations with standard agricultural tires: 10.00-16 (front) and 18.4-34 (rear) for 2WD, or 14.9-24 (front) combined with 18.4-34 (rear) for 4WD, enhancing traction across varied terrains. The larger rear tires provide substantial ground contact, improving stability and load-bearing capabilities, making it suitable for heavy tillage or transport tasks. However, the choice between 2WD and 4WD affects maneuverability and fuel efficiency, with 4WD being preferable for uneven or slippery conditions.
