It's built to tackle the toughest jobs, capable of pulling an astounding 8-10 14-inch plows. Its substantial dimensions, including a 136-inch wheelbase and a formidable weight of 22,500 lbs, provide the stability and traction needed for deep plowing and heavy-duty operations.

Built to Last: Dimensions and Tires

The Minneapolis 40-80 is a testament to robust engineering. Its impressive length of 206 inches, width of 108 inches, and height of 122 inches are supported by agricultural steel tires – 40x14 on the front and massive 85x30 on the rear, ensuring it grips the earth and conquers any terrain.
