VALTRA S240 TIRES

The Valtra S240 tractor equipped with Ag front tires 480/65R30 and Ag rear tires 520/85R42 provides a balanced combination of traction and stability, suitable for both field work and transport applications. The larger rear tires enhance flotation on soft soils, while the narrower front tires improve maneuverability in tight spaces. However, this tire configuration may lead to increased soil compaction if not monitored, necessitating careful consideration of field conditions.
