MASSEY FERGUSON 595 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 595 tractor's tire specifications indicate versatility; the standard agricultural tires (11.00-16 front and 16.9-38 rear for 2WD, 12.4-28 front and 16.9-38 rear for 4WD) enhance traction and stability for various field operations. The 2WD version may be more suited for less demanding terrains, while the 4WD configuration offers improved performance in challenging conditions with better maneuverability. However, operators should consider the potential for increased wear on front tires in 4WD operation if not properly calibrated for weight distribution and tire pressure.
