MASSEY FERGUSON 6255 TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 6255 tractor is equipped with Ag front tires (10.00-16) and Ag rear tires (16.9R-34), providing a balanced combination of stability and traction, suitable for various agricultural tasks. The larger rear tires enhance grip in loose soil conditions and improve overall traction on inclines. However, the narrower front tires may limit lateral stability in soft or uneven ground, making careful consideration of terrain essential for optimal performance.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Massey Ferguson 6255 features a wheelbase of 100.5 inches, contributing to its stability in field operations, particularly when plowing or tilling over uneven terrain. Weighing 9,820 lbs enhances traction, but may pose challenges in softer, muddy conditions where compaction could be an issue. The tire sizes, with 10.00-16 fronts and 16.9R-34 rears, offer a balance of flotation and grip, ideal for general agricultural tasks but necessitating careful selection based on soil type and field conditions to optimize performance.
