Allen, Maybe the poor fella has one of those "red" tractors that lacks both the power and a low enough gear! Overall, I agree that a 7% reduction in ground speed isn't going to get you much. If low gear was 2 mph, then with the smaller tire you would be at 1.86 mph. Hardly any difference. I have seen this issue discussed before and the verdict is always that you would need a m-u-c-h smaller tire to make enough difference. Just a guess, but I would think it would take at least a 20% difference in ground speed to justify the change.
