WHITE 2-55 TIRES
The White 2-55 tractor features standard agricultural tire sizes with options for both 2WD and 4WD configurations, influencing traction and maneuverability. The 2WD setup benefits from lower initial cost and reduced maintenance, but may struggle in soft or uneven terrain compared to the 4WD variant, which provides enhanced grip and stability. When selecting for specific farm scenarios, consider the operational conditions; 4WD excels in muddy fields, while 2WD may be sufficient for predominantly flat and dry areas.
