again, on none braked none ground drive wheels, it is to resist better side slip on cross slopes (besides better tyre life)mattbrun12 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 25, 2018 9:45 pm Sorry RODHA, I wan't intending an argument either. I was just trying to share that there are no brakes on the grain carts and that we do run the tires that way, but not for that reason. It's a drive axle vs non drive axle reason as to why. Any combine that doesn't not have rear wheel assist would have the back tires that way as well.
on combines with un-driven un-braked rear wheels, they are reversed again for better sideslip resistance, they also provide better ability for the positively steered rear wheels to climb out of ruts created by the front wheels, as the tread cleats are not orientated in a manner that is constantly trying to push the turned wheel back into the rut, instead the cleat can bite better on the lateral wall of the rut and climb out.
even on combines with rear wheel assist it is not uncommon to run the rear tyres reversed if an amount of rutting is prevalent, as a driven reversed tyre laterally climbs out of ruts better traveling forwards
in essence the one reason you listed is not actually reason when it coms to other chaser bins be they have one axle or two axle and have no brakes, its side slope performance increases and tyre life.
