    Best front tire for Ford 3910

    Just got the 2 new BKT’s in. Honestly, they look great. They seem heavier made than the American Farmers and the appearance of the rubber looks good to. I can remember thinking the AF’s looked cheaply made even when new. These don’t look that way at all. They also look slightly larger but...

    Best front tire for Ford 3910

    This is one of the 15 plus year Firestones. Still looks like new and roughly same hours but if anything has a little more than the American Farmer ones do.

    And the BKT’s are 6 ply too. I normally run about 25-30 in the front of all my 10 series tractors.

    Best front tire for Ford 3910

    Sorry, yes sir you are correct originally I felt like they were only 3 years old but they are actually twice that. Time goes by faster than I think sometimes. But you have to understand I gave (3) 3910’s, a 4600 and a 2810. All have GoodYear’s or Firestone’s. All of those tires are 2015 or...

    Best front tire for Ford 3910

    These are the American Farmer tires. Complete crap and both are super soft allowing any kind of stubble to poke right through. Stay far away from this company. They are 6 years old and have always been an issue since new. On the flip side I have Firestones on all my other tractors and have...

    Best front tire for Ford 3910

    So I ended up going with BKT. Had several people on other forums say they were probably some of the better foreign made tires. Their initial products sucked but over the years have improved a lot. Guess we see. 😬 At least I don’t see how they could be any worse as these American farmers I...

    Best front tire for Ford 3910

    I’ve got 6.50–16 Chinese tires on it now. They are cracking and already falling apart. The tires are so thin they are worthless.

    Best front tire for Ford 3910

    Well it’s funny you mentioned this. I was about ready to pull the trigger on what I thought was a Carlisle tire and just realized it’s now Carlstar. I mean what the heck all the great companies are being bought out by the Chinese. :(

    Best front tire for Ford 3910

    Guys, I have several 10 series Fords and a couple of them need new front tires. I know things have changed and that Goodyear and Firestone no longer make the original fronts anymore, which were super tough. I think Regency makes front tires for Firestone, but I’m not sure if they’re any good...

    Ford 309 planter issues

    Well I was about to give up honestly. Finally on the 4th time planting I figured it out. Basically let the back packing wheels hit the ground first to apply a little more pressure vs the front. Then set planting depth with position control lever. Then put the float control lever roughly...

    So don’t the shoes help to maintain proper depth?

    Ford 309 planter issues

    So I have two levers side by side. One draft and one position control. I think I need to leave the position control where it is and raise the draft control closer to the neutral (middle of range) position. I’m gonna experiment some as soon as things dry out.
