SHIBAURA ST440 TIRES
The Shibaura ST440 tractor features an agri-front tire size of 7-16 and a rear size of 13.6-24, which facilitates good traction in field applications. Alternatively, it can be equipped with turf tires (27x8.5-15 front, 18.4-16.1 rear), making it suitable for lawn and lawn maintenance. Consider the intended application; ag tires are advantageous for soil work but may cause lawn damage, while turf tires provide less compaction but compromise on off-road traction.
