MCCORMICK INTL B90 MAX TIRES
The McCormick Intl B90 Max tractor features standard agricultural tires, providing a balance between traction and flotation on various terrains. The 2WD option with narrower front tires (7.50-20) may enhance maneuverability in tight spaces but could reduce stability in soft soils. In contrast, the 4WD configuration with wider tires (405/70R20 front and 540/65R30 rear) significantly improves traction and power transfer, making it ideal for heavy tillage or hilly terrains, although it may increase rollover risk and fuel consumption.
