MCCORMICK INTL CX50 TIRES
The McCormick Intl CX50 tractor offers a choice between 2WD and 4WD configurations, with standard agricultural tires optimized for traction and stability. The 4WD option (Front: 8.3R24, Rear: 12.4R32) enhances ground engagement and maneuverability, making it ideal for varied terrain and heavy-duty applications. Conversely, the 2WD configuration (Front: 6.00-16, Rear: 12.4R32) may offer better fuel efficiency and lower operating costs, but sacrifices some traction on uneven surfaces.
