2006 Zetor / Century / C47L or also known as Branson 4720i
Hello looking for some input as to what tire combinations make the most sense on this size tractor?
Ive looked through various manuals from both branded tractors and the newer versions as well.
They all change as to what is "recommended" from the manufacturer through the years
They are as follows for R1 tires:
front 8-18 / rear 12.4-28 was from Century manual 2004 for C47L model
front 9.5-16 / rear 14.9-24 was from early Branson manual 2006 for the 4720i model
front 9.5-16 / rear 13.6-26 was from later Branson manual 2015 for the 4720 model

The tractor currently has turf tires that were on it when purchased last summer.
front 29x12.5-15 / rear 44x18-20
The soil here is clay based and the tires get filled with mud very easily and have been stuck and pulled out already by my neighbour with his logging forwarder.
I have chains on now for winter front back which are fantastic but summer is coming and tires and some new rims are on my wish list.
But what size to go after?
Im leaning towards the larger width R1 9.5-16 with 14.9-24 but have had issue with the spacing between the three point hitch stabilizers and the wheels being too to tight with some attachments with the turf tires with chains.
thanks and regards
