VALMET 8400 TIRES
The Valmet 8400 tractor, equipped with Ag front 14.9R28 and rear 18.4R38 tires, offers a robust torque delivery, making it suitable for heavy-duty field applications. The larger rear tires enhance traction and stability, particularly in tillage operations, while the smaller front tires improve maneuverability. However, the tire size combination may lead to uneven weight distribution during transport, potentially impacting road handling; proper ballasting is crucial to maximize performance and safety.
