John Deere 6R Mid-Frame: JD 6145R & 6155R
Standard Wheels
650/65R42
There are two main 650mm wide tyre options for the JD Mid-frame 6R series tractors: 650/65R42 & 650/75R38.
The 650/65R42 is most common and the cheaper option.

650/65R38
We definitely recommend the 650/65R42 over the 650/65R38 for the Mid-frame 6R’s – you’ll get much better tractor performance with the taller 42″ tyres.
However, 650/65R38 is a size that we do get requests for. So we offer the following options.

650/75R38
For higher torque applications, we recommend the 650/75R38, it has a higher load rating and will normally carry approx. 2 ton extra per tyre than the 650/65R42.
Despite the 38” rim diameter, the 650/75R38 has an overall diameter similar to the 650/65R42.

Rowcrop Wheels
There are three common widths of rowcrop wheel for the John Deere 6145R & 6155R series tractors. 380/90R50 is by far the most popular, making up 76% of the sets we sell.
The 320/90R50 & 480/80R46 are sometimes chosen for more specialist applications.
380/90R50
The 380/90R50 is by far our most common selling rowcrop size for the JD 6R mid-frame. In fact, its the top selling size across our entire range of wheels.
-

380/90R50 high-load & 380/85R34 BKT Wheel Set – JD 6R Mid-Frame
£5,976.00 ex. VAT Add to basket
One of the important things to consider with rowcrops is the load rating – the Maxam, BKT 160D or Mitas 380/90R50 will carry 9 ton across the back axle. Most other makes (including Michelin Agribib, Trelleborg, BKT Agrimax etc) only offer a 6.9ton load rating and are often dangerously overloaded.
If you’re using a 3 ton fert spinner, pulling a heavy trailer, etc then the high-load Mitas or Maxam is the tyre you need.
320/90R54
The 320/90R54 is a less common rowcrop option – more suited to specialist crops, for example, lettuce, carrots, or asparagus.
480/80R46
Sometimes farmers prefer a slightly wider rowcrop to make the tyres more versatile – the 480 can do rowcrop work and still be wide enough to pull a trailer on the road. More popular in Scotland.
The BKT sets have three different front tyre options to work with multiple 4WD ratios.

Wide & Flotation Wheels
900/50R42
The best option for flotation is the 900/50R42 with matching fronts. The 900 is the widest width you can go while still keeping under the 3m road width.
The VF tyre gives a 40% larger footprint than the equivalent standard tyre – meaning you can carry the same weight at 40% lower pressure.

Rowcrop wheels
380mm wide
The 380/105R50 & 380/90R54 are both the same diameter, however the 380/105R50 has a deeper sidewall which results in a higher load carrying capacity, more options for letting the pressures down and also a more comfortable ride.

Our most common selling tyre makes

Maxam Tyres
Maxam is a good quality budget tyre we are able to offer. We’ve been selling the Maxam for a few years now and believe they are a similar quality to the BKT however at a lower price point. There is a very wide range of tyres
including all common sizes.
Some of the most common Maxam wheel sets we sell include the standard 650/65R42 & 540/65R30 and the very popular rowcrop size 380/90R50 & 380/85R34.

BKT Tyres
The BKT is a well known manufacturer of tyres and has a very wide range – there is a BKT tyre available for nearly every tyre size.
Recently they have introduced a number of VF & IF tyres to their range:
- The V-Flecto is a low-pressure VF tyre for flotation, available in sizes such as the VF 710/60R42 & VF 600/60R30.
- The BKT Spargo tyre is a VF rowcrop tyre – popular on the long frame 6R in a VF 380/105R50 or VF 420/95R50.
- The BKT Agrimax Force is a IF tyre, the most popular size is the IF 900/50R42.

Bridgestone Tyres
Bridgestone have two main ranges we sell:
VT-Tractor: This is Bridgestone’s VF, low-pressure range – they can run at 40% lower pressure than a standard tyre. The range consists of common tyre sizes but makes them available in the low-pressure technology. E.g. the Bridgestone VF 900/50R42 is the lowest pressure tyres available – no other tyre manufacturer makes a VF 900/50R42.
VX-Tractor: The Bridgestone VX-Tractor is designed especially for long life on the road. With a special wear resistant rubber compound and 20% more rubber in the lugs, Bridgestone studies show that the VX-Tractor can last more than twice the length of other tyres. If a tractor is doing lots of road work – this is the tyre to go for.
