SHIBAURA SD3000 TIRES
The Shibaura SD3000 offers versatility with both 2WD and 4WD options, allowing for different handling characteristics based on terrain. 4WD provides better traction in challenging environments, particularly suitable for hilly or slippery conditions, while the 2WD configuration may yield lower operational costs and reduced tire wear on flat terrain. Key considerations include the tire size, where the combination of 12.4/11-28 rear tires and varying front tires can influence stability and load distribution during agricultural tasks.
