NEW HOLLAND T4.120 TIRES
The New Holland T4.120 tractor is available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with a key advantage of the 4WD being improved traction and stability on uneven terrain, particularly beneficial in heavy soil conditions. The standard tire sizes, 10.00-16 for 2WD and 14.9R24 for the front of 4WD, are optimized for load distribution; however, the 2WD variant may present challenges in traction in slippery conditions compared to the 4WD variant. Operators should evaluate their primary use case—fieldwork requiring constant traction versus lighter jobs—when selecting between the two drive types.
