How come my spreader tires are installed backward?


Joe, you win the Keen Observation Award for today and today’s Q&A episode. Absolutely. Great observation. You’re right. If you take a look at the egg tread on your tractor and the egg tread on those classic spreader ground drive units, we’ve got a facing the opposite direction come down to one reason, and that is traction. We want those tires to have as much grab, as much purchase as possible, because remember, on those ground drive spreaders, the motion of those components that make everything do the magic that they do relies on those tires having a really good grab. So we switch the tread around. It can grab the soil better. Better rotation, better motion throughout those ground drive components. That’s a really good question, Joe. Thanks for asking.
