Hi folk, would anyone know/or has one fitted bigger front wheels to mf 165 before, eg the wider ones you would find on a 290 etc, I have thought about fitting a loader to the 165 and would wonder would the wider wheels be better for it? thanks

My mates 188 has oversize front wheels and tyres so I presume its possible in a 165 too. not sure what the wheels are of tho. They look similar to 390 front wheels.

yea, the same ones im not sure of sizes, 750 x 16?? maybe someone could tell me, the ones ive in my head you would see on most bigger 2wd tractors like 290, 390, ford 7610 , case 895. etc. definitely give the tractor a more purposeful look if nothing else

would the Front Axle take a wet bale of silage with a heavy loader :P

If you don't have power steering then forget about it. We have a 65 here and it's a great tractor but only fault wet have is the steering system and the lack of Ps.
