not a grain cart but the tires could be put on one. 850/50R32 Galaxy Super Soil Softee's. Six of them on Houle 7300.

What size are the tires on the rear of the tractor?

How do you think they would be dualed up for a combine?

Maybe too tall? IIRC they make some pretty wide Cerexbibs or Megaxbibs which are geared at combines. Not sure how tall of a tire you can fit under there though.

How does the Fendt handle the 7300 with large singles? Thought about updating one of our tractors that also hauls manure, and thought about the metrics, but would have to run w/o the duals, vs the 520/46's we're running now.

did you have to replace the rims on the tank for the other tires? We have the Galaxy's on one tank, but they dont' look quite that wide, but I need to replace the tires on the other tank in the near future, it still has the old diamond style on it

We ordered it with them. For the 850 Radials they space th3 axles out more and add an extra support under each axle. At the time we ordered it two years ago they were $4500 per tire.

They require a 32" diameter rim.

Another thing to note is that IIRC the tires have to come out of Canada through Houle or at least at that time they did. There was a $500 environmental charge and the rims were only a little more than that but the charger didn't apply to tires mounted on rims as the knew there wouldn't be an old tire to be disposed of. Not sure if it is still this way.

The Galaxy's you have are probably the bias ply Honey Wago tires. They are much smaller and compact the ground a lot more, we only run 22psi in the super soil softees.

Beautifully, theres a lot of people running them around here. They handle the tanker better aside from deep snow and ice. Their benefits though are that they fit underneath the fenders, fit down the road nicer, ride much better and wear much longer.

Wondering too. Are there enough used ones around for that to be an option?

Had to buy a new floater tire for my Terragator this year. Can't recall the size exactly but it was smaller than the 76x50s I have on my cart. It was just shy of $5,000. I thought I was told a 76x50 floater tire was around $7,000 each.

The IF800/70R38 Michelins are less than 6k each.

Here's one I saw on a dealer lot. Tires that size are a little unusual for this area.

Is that tire sitting against the steel hopper of the cart? Sure looks like it from my screen.

They clear. Not by a lot, but it doesn't take much.

Those look like those hard logger tires... Bet they wouldn't fit if they were new.

How about this? We found a tile washout or ??? a few years ago. It stopped the tractor in it's tracks. Somehow the cart didn't spill a kernal.
