[Farmall] Advice on Tires for an H.

[Kool Stuff]

Ok, speaking of tractor tires, what are the different patterns best for? I 
have a BN on which I replaced the original tires with Titans. I had the 
option of long bar or long bar-short bar tires (I went with the latter 
because they were a match for the original pattern). Is there a real 
difference? Looking at the pictures on the Miller home page they have what 
appears to be two long bar varieties. Which should he consider? The 
irrigation tires look like the tires on my H (I have a little more twist in 
the bar) which I'm told are great for tractor pulls. Are these designed for 
less soil penetration? Interesting topic.
