Right! We have a small tractor with narrow tires for this job specifically. 😊 We're a little bit confused by narrow tires on medium/large tractors though. When we ran a medium tractor with narrow tires through a field, it still destroyed the crops. So not sure what purpose it serves to have the option for narrow tires on medium/large tractors. Need to find out! 😊
As simple as it is, I think one of my favorite parts about your videos is your intros. "If this is what you're looking for, please stay tuned". Wholesome
Now you need to redo the test using the _Added Realism for Vehicles_ mod. Then you can expand on it to see what a difference horse power makes as well as tire width.
@@FarmerCop I suspect that the results of such a test will be more dramatic than your original. I've often considered doing a test and posting the results to UA-cam but I wouldn't know where to begin.
@@NURTXXN What wouldn't be fair? Are you saying it wouldn't be fair to re-test using the mod because the mod is not available to console players? If so, then console players need not view the test or utilize its results in their game play.
I have wondered about this dilemma myself. I know that wider tires seem to hamper agility and sometimes top speed can be reduced but it totally makes sense that it would improve pulling power. I honestly doubted that it would make any difference but these tests were setup very well with very little room for error. Fantastic content! Thank You! I wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and yours!
Great test I’ve always been curious if it makes a difference now I know haha also if you still have that test saved would be interesting to see if tracks instead of tires would make any difference either.
Good test, exactly what I was looking for. I like the fact that you are a cop by the way. My sister is a cop in MN. Super proud to be her brother and I appreciate cops.
Very informative, thank you for making this video. I have laid in bed, unable to sleep, wondering about this very question. You have solved one of the worlds greatest mysteries. I thank you.
I wasn’t as scientific but came to same conclusion. Was plowing and noticed wheel slip on a 500hp tractor so put duels on. The wheel slip pretty much gone and plowing speed increased substantially
Great test and It absolutely matters. I noticed it just doing field work, much better traction and stability with wider tires or especially doubles. Also if I am using a front loader on a tractor it is more stable. I done a test a while back to see if axle count matters with trucks and it totally did. I tried single, dual, and triple axle trucks. With some heavy loads the single axle would hardly move it. The weight would push the truck down far too low as it would in reality. Plus stability was better with more axles.
Thank you! Yea I never really thought about how much it would matter and just thought more tires was strictly aesthetic but after doing this test it has really changed my perspective. hat is good to know to about trucks, thank you for sharing that
The game doesnt model tire friction the way you would think it would. This is how the game models the tires. Different mods and different vehicles can and will have different settings. I do know there is a mod that actually models dynamic friction depending on weight, tires, center of mass, and terrain. Giants base game doesnt do that.
@@FarmerCop I was going to also ask for a Take-2 examining half-tracks and quad-trac variants, but saw you already did one. As with a lot of your videos, you taught me something yet again, so thank you!
I didn't think tires actually made any difference beyond crop destruction, cool test. Would nice to see soil compaction from tires added into the game as a stock feature
I've noticed our tractor with dual tires (8 total) can't make as sharp turns. Tried reconfiguring it to standard tires (4 total), and then it could perform sharper turns. Bunker silage compaction with dual tires is great for gripping the uneven ground. This is on FS22.
@@SFuruli haven't got that far yet, I've only filled the silage bunker twice in haut-beyleron, and just ran the MF-8 over it with singles and wheel weights. Tried to use the fendt 1100 series but it got stuck easily. Mostly on the front. I dont go use much silage yet, so I haven't had to find the quickest way to do it.
@@stevenmiller279 Ok. 😃 Maybe belts aren't the best for bunker silage then. Haven't tried that yet. I watched one of Farmer Cop's videos after my last reply. He tested the various tire widths by pulling a cultivator up a hill. The tractor and cultivator were the same for each run. The only factor that changed between each runs was the tire width. The tractor would maintain it's speed better up the hill with wider tires. The wider the tires, the higher the speed. Not sure how this translates to flat ground, but interesting results nontheless.😃 We own some fields in Elm Creek where they start sloping uphill, so will look to changing tire setup for tractors working on them.
@@SFuruli it seems like the problem with tracked vehicles is the belts don't extend all the way to front allowing it to climb over the silage pile, so the front digs in and gets stuck. But I'll definitely try a dual tire set up for silage. I would guess with how the physics work on compacting chaff it would be easy to see how it would compact quicker. I'm really excited to see how well the actual silage equipment works in 22. It didn't really have much advantage that I noticed in 19.
@@stevenmiller279 We're in the process of getting a forage harvester. Really looking forward to it. There's something about the flow or chaf shooting out, and the possibility for teamwork between the harvester and tractors. 😃
I haven't went this extensive into it but I've known it makes a difference for quite a while by watching my operational speeds on my implements. Weight and tire setup does make a difference for certain. Also the actual distribution from one tractor to another makes a difference as well. For example, in a flat field the 7 series (352 hp) John Deere will actually pull the largest Great Plains seeder/planter with duals and 1500kg on the front better than the 8 series (450 hp) with the same setup. The 8 gets a little closer if you go up to 1800kg on the front but the 7 will keep that sucker locked at 9mph all day whereas behind the 8 the speed wobbles a bit. I figure it must be that the 7 has nearly the same weight in the tractor but in a tighter package so it can really tuck in and pull it. On hills though the 8 series superior hp wins out over the 7s and the seven gets dragged down more. It's not super realistic but there is definitely a light physics dynamic for it in the game. It's actually like reality lite. The tires themselves also add weight as irl as well and ballast weight works against you on the hills just like irl. Love these tests like this though! Super cool and leaves no doubt! Well thought out!
You should use the mod "added realism for vehicles" & correct 'filltypes mass adjust'. then you see the difference between smal, normal, wide & double tires. + also slippage indicator on the hud is nice, and extra weight is taken into account.
Hey buddy just wanted to comment your editing and audio skills used in this video are on par with fellas with many more subscribers such a Mr Sealy P and dj goham and now this is just personal opinion I feel your better than FS club just to be honest
This is handy for the fellsbrun map, it's expensive but if it will plow, cultivate, and put faster the seeds. That should be a win senario in the long run. Could you do some test with tire treads or rups tires ?
I think the GPS mod could have helped by keeping the tractor's in a straight line, you wouldn't need to have such a wide hill, and you'd get more accurate information because everyone tractor would take the same path
I tend to use standard or slight wide tires, just seems easier to drop off goods to factories/silos/pens etc. Double wheels etc do look nice tho on the huge fields =)
I agree with you Mike I like wides because of there wider stance and the duals do make it more difficult to maneuver. I may use duals more often though now because of this haha.
While working on the ground it matters if you use a cultivator and you have narrow tires you will slip and if you use wide or dubble you wont slip at all
I've also wondered about Trellborg vs Michelin. Any difference? (I think the Michelin's are quieter on the road, but I've only tried them once.) I'm curious about wheel weights too.
On the Puma, Michelin tire option is for the super-wide harvester tires/monster truck tires (I have a fleet of Pumas in various configs, and that's one of them). Think there'd be any benefit there? Also, the wider overall setups do in fact make a difference in lateral stability. Tight turns at high speed will far more easily tip over a narrow overall track width.
i missed the weighted tires test in there cuz if the physics are well made to the point where weights help gripping to the ground, you could see how well weighted wheels performs compared to weightless
very interesting test... couple of things tho. do the front tractor wheels have power to turn like the rears? If not then i would think that dual tires in the front would not matter. if they do have power then, yeah, maybe front duals are a go. if you want to have a very steady course up the hill why not use guidance steering. that should alleviate any off track travel. just a thought
Based on the way the game calculates the silage compaction, it packs silage based on the number of tires. So the tractor with front and rear duals should pack the fastest.
Something interesting that I found (kinda ran my own tests) using the JD 8R (8400 and the 410) wanted to see what had better traction, as well as what would destroy crops (narrows and tracks). Found that on the 8400 the trelleborg triple narrows did not destroy the crops, but the Michelin triple narrows did. So brand mattered, but may have been a glitch. Also, I have the added realism which is nice because it’ll show you the engine load (percentage of strain) and percentage of slip which was a great tool. Food for thought!
Sorry for the late reply, thank you for the comment! I have noticed that as well with some modded tractors the "narrow" tires still destroy crops at times like you described. And I may end up doing more tests with added realism as well :)
Hi Farmer Cop It's always interesting watching your videos I enjoy them I also noticed the smaller the tires the more wheel slip you had I have found the fatter the ground it doesn't matter the size of the tractor or the implement do you just not going to operate at the right speed but they will work
Try again with a single tractor and place a workshop so it can be reconfigured in-place. This allows you to save the game with it configured the first way and time it, then reload to the exact same track and position, change the tyres, do it again.
That definitely would make the test more accurate but based on the results it would only adjust the times by minimal amounts so I probably will not do the test again that way. But that is a fantastic idea
@@FarmerCop Oh aye, it is a bit late for THIS test, but for next time (e.g. if you try road tires or the different brands, or if you try on grass/cultivated/roads) it should help shorten the time taken to set it up AND make it a bit more accurate.
Wide tires or double or triple tires have to do with weight distribution keeping you from tearing up your field or simply helps from sinking in the mud it spreads the weight out
Using the puma and roughly 15 meter wide windrower, I can absolutely see a difference in tires. With narrow tires the tractor gets pushed into a jackknife by the implement, with wide tires and wheel weights, it does not.
And farmers usually use twin wheels when sowing a field so the weight of the tractor is more distributed on the ground. Imagine trying to stab the ground with a finger or whole fist But obviously this factor does not affect fs19.
In real life thinner tyres usually work better as all the load is on a smaller area, big wide tyres although more area on the ground the weight is spread lightly over a larger area, a bit like high heal shoes compared to normal ones, they dig in. I remember getting stuck in my 4x4 with wide tyres and a small fiat panda passed me no problem.
The first test was well-made, but the second one is worthless due to your making it too short. Good to know that the tires do make a difference though!
If you want to really experiment use a high horsepower tractor. You will have more tire slip. Then experiment with weight as well as tire size. Weight is everything on a tractor.
I have thought about that and that makes sense. I did do a test with weights on the front and weights in the wheels and they seemed to make a huge difference
Great test thanks for doing it BUT can we therefore apply Duels for actually working on hills...... ploughing, planting, because their a pain for travelling on the road🤔😁
Ok so. On wanting to be able to do as you want try placing a tool box mod next to ur field. that way you or yall can customize ur tractors at your fields like u was at the shop.
That is a great question, obviously narrows don't destroy it but other tires do but how bad does each tire affect it I have no idea, adding that to the potential future tests list :)
I think the front smaller tires started “skipping” cause they didn’t have any weight on the front end of the tractors and once you put the extra tires, they kinda acted like a weight along with more traction
I've layed awake in bed for many sleepless nights pondering this question🤔. Thanks for taking the time to answer!
B Powell I am glad I have answered the questions so you can now get a full nights sleep :) You are welcome :)
@@FarmerCop Looks like I need to start adding the doubles on my tractors rather then standard.
I just answer all the questions by sticking duels on every tractor
Shouldve used gps and let them all drive in the same line behind eachother?
Lain.
Narrow tires are for spraying and weeding so if you have crop destruction on so I think they make a difference for the designated job

I ended up testing that, see my video on tracks :) glad you enjoy the content!
Wide tires or double or triple tires have to do with weight distribution keeping you from tearing up your field or simply helps from sinking in the mud it spreads the weight out
It’s should be added that narrow tires prevent crop destruction when driving onto fields
It is also affected by the tyre type. I suggest mitas on John Deere’s
I use the American tractors so I use Michelin
Test video on tire brands coming out today :)
Thanks sooooooo much for the help!!!!!
The most helpful video in youtube 👍
Awesome video! I want to see more tests like this! Keep it up Farmer Cop😎👍🏼
Will do thank you :)
Great questioned answered!
Thank you Jeff :)
@@FarmerCop, idk if you remember but i posed that question to you several months ago. We both liked wide tires because they looked badass, lol.
Using the puma and roughly 15 meter wide windrower, I can absolutely see a difference in tires. With narrow tires the tractor gets pushed into a jackknife by the implement, with wide tires and wheel weights, it does not.
That makes sense, yea I was surprised at the difference it made
I find that it is not always a problem of power it is more of a problem of traction
That makes sense James, I used to change tires for a living prior to my career in law enforcement and I can definitely atest to that :)
And farmers usually use twin wheels when sowing a field so the weight of the tractor is more distributed on the ground. Imagine trying to stab the ground with a finger or whole fist
But obviously this factor does not affect fs19.
The snow test would of been perfect for the weight test
And *doesn't cross the finish line* "beats it"! *crosses finish line slightly later. Lol. Love the test though!
In Scarok car mod and yellow black 4x4 and red white 4x4 double tires are more unstable. Just for u know
I Need to do the same test on normal ground as u did on the snow bc maybe it would still be the same time so the snow doesn’t matter
Danke very much
I just wanted to ask has anyone ran into a bug where you can harvest crops at Max speed (24mph) with the JD S790?
So the more tire you have, the more torque and grip you have 👍 that means you can speed up faster and climb hills faster
Now does it matter with realistic dirt mod?
In real life thinner tyres usually work better as all the load is on a smaller area, big wide tyres although more area on the ground the weight is spread lightly over a larger area, a bit like high heal shoes compared to normal ones, they dig in. I remember getting stuck in my 4x4 with wide tyres and a small fiat panda passed me no problem.
I found this curious that it actually worked the bigger/more tires you went. I wonder if differential mod has any play on it as well.
Differential I have heard makes a big difference but I have not tested it :)
Loved the test but my i say with the uphill and the Load. Your losing traction on front tires. Please add weights to front.
That is a good idea, will do :)
@@FarmerCop coolbeans👍👀
Great test see some changes with font weights
Yea I can imagine that front weights would change things a bit to, I am going to do more tests but we will see what those entail :)
Great video, thanks!
Your welcome! Thank you :)
You do know there is a built in compass in the game so you can make them all start at the same heading?
Great video!!
Great video. Next you could do manufacturers of tires such as Michelin, trellborg, Mitas etc.
This video compares some brands in that way :) ua-cam.com/video/eE9eVKJK7t4/v-deo.html
Can you test compaction on yields?
Base game it has no effect
That's pretty conclusive, ,,duels for my autonomous harvester then
Will turning radius reduce with wider tires?
Sometimes yes, i have noticed with duals it can be worse
forgot about triple tires
Do wider tyres matter ? That depends....what colour are they ??
They seem to haha
good know I have a reason to run duals in stead of just looking good.
How did u do the snow
The "Just Snow" mod on modhub
The first test was well-made, but the second one is worthless due to your making it too short. Good to know that the tires do make a difference though!
If you want to really experiment use a high horsepower tractor. You will have more tire slip. Then experiment with weight as well as tire size. Weight is everything on a tractor.
I have thought about that and that makes sense. I did do a test with weights on the front and weights in the wheels and they seemed to make a huge difference
Anyone else impressed by his ability to back up like that?
No it's really easy
Great test thanks for doing it BUT can we therefore apply Duels for actually working on hills...... ploughing, planting, because their a pain for travelling on the road🤔😁
Great point, its hard to use duals on big hills if you can't get them there on narrow roads.
Ok so. On wanting to be able to do as you want try placing a tool box mod next to ur field. that way you or yall can customize ur tractors at your fields like u was at the shop.
You need to go up the same spot like you did in the snow test for the cultivator test.
I agree that would have been more accurate, my more recent tests are more accurate as I have tweaked some things
Great idea!!! now I know... top vid, thks :)
Thank you! :)
If you want to grind fast get the modded diesel pick up truck ( tuned one )and cultivate, it goes 26MPH while lowered 😂
Can you do a video to see if the difffernt beans of tyres make a difference (Nokian, and the others) please
Already did one on my channel, make sure you check it out :)
What about tracks on some tractors?
I test tracks a little bit in a different video
Farmer Cop oh okay, thanks!
How did you just add snow?
The Just Snow mod
Interesting!
I wonder if there is a measurable difference between crop destruction between tires
That is a great question, obviously narrows don't destroy it but other tires do but how bad does each tire affect it I have no idea, adding that to the potential future tests list :)
I think the front smaller tires started “skipping” cause they didn’t have any weight on the front end of the tractors and once you put the extra tires, they kinda acted like a weight along with more traction
You should test this with tracks as well
I did a limited test with some form of tracks, should be able to find it on the channel :)
Throw a weight on the front and test again
11:48 "... whatever the Case might be."
Great video 👍
Thank you Joe :)
I recommend wides. :)
If crop destruction is on the narrow tires save them. Wider tires obviously destroy more.
Very true!
What about the commuter tires
They do make a difference with crop destruction. Narrow tires to harm the crops but any other tire does
Very true!
