WAGNER WA-4 TIRES
The Wagner WA-4 tractor features standard agricultural tires sized 16.9x26 for both front and rear, providing excellent flotation and traction on soft soils, beneficial for crop cultivation. However, the uniform tire size may limit adaptability in varying terrains and applications compared to tire configurations with differing front and rear sizes. In scenarios requiring high maneuverability or adaptability to uneven surfaces, alternative tire options could enhance performance.
