I know you've found the answer now but just to let you know, the manufacturers name is written on the side wall of the tyres  ;)

it is indeed... I even zoomed in.. but as I'd never heard of the name Nokian... I couldn't make it out  :-\

Would you keep an agri set as well as the industrial then? For say Carting grain or topping?

They wouldn't be much use for you driving into your pile of top soil either i wouldn't of though?  :-\

I think they have enough tread for what I need... with 4wd I think it would give ample traction for loading and hauling a trailer on dry fields  :-\

are they more a turf tyre then marky?? or road tyres so to speak

They'll cut in too much for that, being a harder tyres the side wall won't flex enough. Mark, I think it is Nokian on the Welgar baler at work, floatation type tyre. Road well too, I shouldn't think they'd be a bad buy at all  :) :)

the tyres on hattie getting low already then mate??

a good 50% mate.... only got about 650 hours out of them as well... My plan is to replace them now... and keep them for trade in time  ;)

When I buy myself a Fordson Power Major... er.... a 7480  :P

you can have whatever tyres you want mate... I just went for 'factory choice' which happened to be Perilli... which have turned out to be a bad choice - the fronts have really taken a pounding compared to the agribib I had on my 5445.

Hey ho.. we live and learn I guess.... as for you Ben... you are a bad influence on me you know.. then again.. if you insist.. it would be rude of me not to  ;D:P:D :D

have you really worn down the tyres to 50% already we have the original front and back tyres on the 3085 after 8300hrs tyres but one of the backs blew outs so that was replaced the front tyres need relacing but the original back one has about 30% if not more when compared with the new one  :of theyre goodyear ones ones so that might be different the ones on the case are firestone and they arent that bad maybe 60% after 1950 hrs  :-\
