MCCORMICK INTL F85 TIRES
The McCormick Intl F85 tractor features options for both 2WD and 4WD configurations, which influences traction and maneuverability; the 280/70R20 front tires in 4WD enhance grip on various terrains, whereas the 7.50-16 in 2WD may compromise on stability in uneven conditions. The large rear tires (14.9R24) provide significant surface area for better weight distribution and can improve performance in tillage and heavy load operations. However, prospective users should consider the potential for increased tire wear and the maintenance involved with larger, more complex tire systems in sustained agricultural use.
