Can I put a wider tire on my motorcycle rim?
It’s true, larger tires are needed to support heavier bikes, and wider tires mounted to appropriately sized rims will offer more grip because they have a larger footprint. Wider tires, especially really wide setups like you might see on a custom cruiser or a fat-tire Suzuki Hayabusa, aren’t good for handling.
Why a tractor has big and wide Tyres?
Large and wide tyres have a larger surface area. So for a given force the pressure will be reduced with a larger surface area. Reducing pressure reduces the damage that the wheels do to the ground. Thus the amount that the wheels sink into the ground will be reduced.
Why do tractors have low horsepower?
Because they have high torque, all over their power band which is more important than having a huge narrow peak and lots of gears. So I kind of figured that was the case, as all of you have said, so a tractor may not actually need to generate as much energy as a car, but does have better gear ratios for heavy lifting.
Why do tractors have two brake pedals?
Why do tractors have two brake pedals? That is so the operator can make tighter turns at slow speeds by braking one wheel at a time or use differential braking to control wheel spin. For higher speed traveling, there is a lock on most tractors that locks the pedals together.
Which brake is used in tractor?
The internal expanding shoe brakes are also called the drum brakes and explained later. These types of brakes are most commonly used in tractors. But the new- age tractors are also coming with disc brakes. The external contracting shoe brakes are external to the wheel and can be seen in case of railways.
Do tractors have front brakes?
Tractors started out as farm pullers dontcha know, and the front wheels are mostly decoration. With a heavy load (pulling, or mounted on the rear) all the weight is on the rear axle. Front wheels would not do much. Even for turning, the brake is far more effective than the front wheels.
Why do tractors have 4 pedals?
Modern farm tractors usually have four or five foot-pedals for the operator on the floor of the tractor. The pedal on the left is the clutch. The operator presses on this pedal to disengage the transmission for either shifting gears or stopping the tractor.
Do tractors have brakes?
Tractors generally have two brake pedals, one for each wheel. When driving over roads or hard surfaces those pedals are locked together to keep the vehicle from swerving off the road due to a carelessly applied foot.
