How to Choose the Right Tires and Clearance for Your High-Crop Tractor
8/31/2025
High-crop tractors are essential for growers working with tall or delicate crops like corn, sorghum, tomatoes, and more. High-crop tractors help protect tall crops during spraying, planting, and harvesting by offering extra clearance and specialized features. The John Deere 6120EH is a popular example, offering high ground clearance, precise handling, and compatibility with a range of capabilities. Here, we’re exploring how to select the right tires for your high-crop tractor to boost efficiency and crop protection.
Tire size affects traction, row spacing, and soil compaction. Many high-crop tractors support adjustable tread setting, a critical feature for farmers with varied crop growth year-round.
High clearance ensures your tractor clears crops with minimal damage to plants and roots.
Some models feature a drop axle, allowing operators to raise the axle and drawbar further while still supporting varying tread widths.
Selecting the right tires to ensure adequate clearance and optimal crop yields can be a challenge. If you’re seeking further guidance, reach out to one of Wright Implement’s experts to discuss your specific needs. Give us a call–we’re here to help!
