Externet Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Hello. From the angle of the thread 'ribs' If the tires shown turn/slip going away from you, do the 'ribs' push some soil/mud towards the center of its path ? If it turns/slips towards you, do the 'ribs' push some soil/mud out of the tire path ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danijel Gorupec Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Afaik, the one way will aid to directional stability, the other one will hinder it. When ribs push the mud outward, it aids the directional stability (that is, forces try to straighten the tire path). Normally, on a tractor, you mount the tires to push the mud outward if tires start slipping while the tractor is pulling forward. [But, I guess, if you use the tractor to brake a pushing cargo, such normal rib alignment might make your steering more difficult.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Externet Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 Thanks. Directional stability... Did not see that one. I was only seeing the digging itself deeper in the mud when soil was pushed outwards. instead of a faint opposite. Well, anyway all is the opposite if trying to back out of muddy terrain in reverse gear.🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
