VALPADANA 6550 TIRES

The Valpadana 6550 features Ag front and rear tires sized 320/65 R18, which enhance stability and traction on varied terrains, making it ideal for moderate agricultural tasks. This tire configuration provides a favorable balance between flotation and ground contact, reducing soil compaction. However, its limited tire size may restrict performance in extremely demanding conditions, necessitating careful consideration of the operational environment.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Valpadana 6550 tractor features a compact wheelbase of 55 inches (139 cm) or extended 59.6 inches (151 cm) with an ARM option, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces or stability on uneven terrain, respectively. Weighing 3,902 lbs (1,769 kg), it balances robustness with agility, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks but potentially limited in heavy-duty applications due to its lower weight. The tire specifications of 250/80-16 in the front and 320/70 in the rear provide adequate traction, but the smaller tire size may pose challenges in exceedingly muddy conditions or when handling larger implements.
