RK TRACTORS RK74PSC TIRES
The RK74PSC tractor's standard agricultural tires (11.2-24 front and 19.6-30 rear) provide a good balance of traction and flotation for fieldwork, enhancing performance on varied terrains. The option for lawn/turf (12-20.5 front and 22.4-25.5 rear) allows for reduced soil compaction, making it suitable for sensitive landscapes. However, using industrial tires (15-19.5 front and 18.4-24 rear) may offer better durability and load capacity for construction or heavy-duty applications, albeit potentially at the cost of ride comfort on softer surfaces.
| Standard tires (ag) | Front: 11.2-24. Rear: 19.6-30 |
| Lawn/turf front | 12-20.5 |
| Lawn/turf rear | 22.4-25.5 |
