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.
