WIDE TIRES ASSIST HAULING
Do Not Cut Deeply and Make Better
Tracks on Roads Which Are Trav-
eIed While Soil Is Soft.

(By F. A. WRIT. Kansas Experiment Sta
tion.)
Wide-tired wagons pull more easily
than narrow tired ones 80 per cent of
the times when they are used. Pro-
fessor Writ has just completed ex-
periments with wide and with narrow
tired wagons.
Narrow tires pull harder than wide
tires because the narrow tire cuts
deeper into the top soil. The wide
tire does not cut so deep and makes a
better track on roads which are
Travelled while the ground is soft. The
wide tire packs the surface into firm
roadbed.
The tests show that In corn fields.
plowed fields, field lanes and on pas
ture and alfalfa land, the draft on the
wide tire is considerably less no mat
ter what the condition of the soil.
In places where the mud is deep and
rolls up on the wheels, in ruts made
by narrow wheels. or in surface of
mud with hard ground beneath, the
narrow tire will pull more easily. The
narrow wheel fits the rut, on the hard
bottom of which it runs, and 1t col
lects less mud than the wide tire.
Were only wide tires used, however,
this condition hardly could occur.
