VALMET 600 TIRES
The Valmet 600 tractor’s tire specifications reveal a focus on versatility; the 4WD variants, particularly with 16.9R34 rear tires, enhance traction and stability, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications such as plowing or tilling on varied terrain. However, the transition from 2WD to 4WD can present challenges in terms of initial cost and maintenance complexity, especially in mixed usage scenarios where maneuverability may be prioritized. Overall, the choice of tire size impacts load capacity and soil compaction, with larger rear tires (like the 16.9R34) providing greater flotation in wet conditions but potentially compromising agility in tighter spaces.
