MCCORMICK INTL C80 TIRES

The McCormick Intl C80 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, providing flexibility depending on terrain requirements; the 4WD variant significantly enhances traction and handling on uneven or slippery surfaces. The tire specifications, with a larger front tire in the 4WD model, facilitate improved load distribution and stability, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural applications. However, the 2WD option could be less efficient in challenging conditions, potentially leading to increased soil compaction and reduced productivity in damp fields.
