I am considering buying a new Foton F824 (4x4 82hp 4t) , it will be used mostly for pulling 5-14 tons and plowing ( 12in deep and 47in wide \30,120cm ).
My only concern with the tractor is its tires size (front: 11.2 - 24 rear: 16.9 - 34) , i see most tractors at similar hp have bigger tires (front: 12.4 - 24 rear: 18.4 - 34)
Will the stock ones be enough for its job, or do i need wider ones ?

If that is engine HP then the stock tires should be plenty especially in a 4 WD tractor. 80 HP is right at the breaking point for going to the next size up in tires though. If you are in particularly sandy soil which tends to slip more than a clay type, you might consider getting the 18.4 tires though. The difference in price should not be great but you may have to wait for a period to get a tractor equipped with non-standard tires.
