VERSATILE 825 TIRES
The Versatile 825 tractor, equipped with 18.4x38 tires both front and rear, offers excellent stability and traction, particularly on uneven terrain. The option for wider rear tires (20.8x38 or 30.5x32) enhances flotation and reduces soil compaction, making it suitable for heavy tillage and fieldwork scenarios. However, the larger rear tire selection may slightly increase the initial investment and maintenance complexity, particularly in tire replacement and compatibility with existing implements.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Versatile 825 tractor features a substantial 130-inch wheelbase, enhancing stability and traction on diverse terrains, which is particularly advantageous for heavy tillage operations. With a weight range of 18,100 to 26,000 pounds, it provides significant drawbar capacity, ideal for heavy-duty implements; however, increased weight may limit mobility on softer soils. The uniform tire size of 24.5x32 aids in maintaining consistent ground pressure, reducing soil compaction but may require careful selection of tire pressure for optimal performance across varying field conditions.
