MASSEY FERGUSON 6150 TIRES

The Massey Ferguson 6150 features an Ag front tire size of 10.00-16, which provides good maneuverability for field operations, while the large Ag rear tires (18.4R-34) enhance traction and stability, particularly in tillage tasks. The combination of these tire sizes enables efficient weight distribution and improved flotation in soft soil conditions, although the large rear tires may present challenges in narrow pathways or compacted fields. This tractor is ideal for medium to heavy-duty applications in row crop farming, but users should be mindful of the turning radius influenced by the front tire size when working in confined spaces.
