PDC Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 though so,tyres /wheels look a bit on the small side against hte rest ,but doesn't spoil it The MF brochere says that all 2WD's in the 5400 series have 16" front wheels 16 divided by 32 = 1/2" the 4020 wheels are slightly bigger than this,doe's anyone know if real 4020's have 17" wheels.

MJB1 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 though so,tyres /wheels look a bit on the small side against hte rest ,but doesn't spoil it i think it' s coz we're so used to seeing 4wd now that most new tractors look odd as 2wd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMurF Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Strange how things change in farming once upon a time you had to pay a hefty premium for 4WD now it's standard on most tractors I've heard that you now pay more for 2WD if it's available on that model I may be wrong but FORD 7840's were more for 2WD not long ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
