RIDE, TRACTION & PERFORMANCE
TG Tractors
Refer to Load/Inflation Chart for inflation and tire size information (starting on
page 26 or in the tire manufacturers’ guide).
Definitions
Rolling Circumference - Rolling circumference is the distance a tire travels in one revolution
Interaxle Ratio - A FWD tractor uses both the front and rear tires to do the work. Since the front tires are smaller
than the rear tires, the front tires must rotate faster to travel the same distance as the rear. The mechanical gear
combination used to allow the front axle to move the tires at a faster speed is referred to as the interaxle ratio. The
tractor manufacturer establishes the interaxle ratio.
Tall, wide, soft radial tires provide:
• The best traction.
• The best ride.
• The least amount of maintenance required to control a powerhop condition.
