Yet more questions from me
I've been offered a pair of 12.4/11 x 28 Tyres (90% Tread) and rims in very good condition (blasted and painted) off a Ford 3000. Before I buy I just want to check these will definately fit my Super Dexta and fill the arches nicely.

Wheels and Tyres
I think 12.4x28" tyres on 9x28" rims are the norm for Dextas these days.
So the tyres you mention should be fine - but worth finding out what rim size though. If the internal rim bead spacing is more than 9", would be as well to check that the tyre won't rub on the mudguards.
A couple of threads on the subject:

Tyres size nomenclature (old & new) can get confusing, so it's good to be sure exactly which dimensions one is talking about.
All the best,

11" x 28" rims
Do these wheels fit OK with the minimum wheel width setting? I've heard that the tyres may be too close to the mud guards.dexta roadless wrote:Hello

I haven't fitted them yet as my tractor is still at the local Agri college having a few more bits done before she comes home. The tractor currently has 12.4/11 x 28 on it when i looked after all that. It has half a roll frame fitted which i think lifts the mudguards a little but there is plently of clearance.

Tyres are pretty close to the support stays when at minimum setting. I set mine right in for ploughing but soil built up on the stays so I moved back out to 56" Then there is no problem.
